What are carnassial teeth?
the upper first premolar and the lower first molar
What are indications for tooth extraction?
retained deciduous teeth
interceptive orthodontics
severe peridontal disease
nonvital teeth/ root exposure
pulpitis
malocclusion
supernumerary teeth
impacted
abcessed
tooth luxation
How do you extract a tooth with a single or multiple roots?
consider rads to asses root anatomy/pathology
sever epithelial attachement with 11 blade and enter peridontal space
use root elevator to work around entire tooth, go deeper until the tooth becomes mobile
use extraction forcept
assess tooth for complete remoal
debride alveolus
flush aveolus
+/- suture
What is pulpitis?
discoloration in tooth which may be focal
the older the patient is the less likely the tooth will survive - remove
What are the classifications for fractured teeth?
enamal infraction - just cracks that stain but no loss in structure
enamal fracture - loss of enamel
crown fracture - pulp not expose
complicated- crown fracture pulp exposed
What is a vital pulpotomy?
maintain a viable tooth that will continue to mature
-young animals <24 months
recent pulpal exposure less than 48 hours
What is a root canal?
complete removal of pulp contents than seal apex to prevent bacteria from escaping tooth

done in mature tooth with complicated crown fracture
What are causes for oronasal fisulas?
dental disease
extractions
pressure necrosis from foreign body
complications of surgery, radiation therapy
trauma
How can you sustain good sutures after oral surgery?
10 days broad spectrum antibiotics
soft food for two weeks
no hard toys
re check in 10 days
What is Chelischisis?
primary palate that extends from lip to incisive foramen of the premaxilla

causes infection and aspiration pneumonia
What is palatoschsis?
cleft of the secondary palate (hard and soft)

these animals have failure to thrive, have difficulties nursing
What are salvage techniques in animals with uncorrectable palate defects
acrylic appliances - retainer to seal off fistula

nasal septal button - on disc in nasal cavity, the other on oral cavity

malignant melanoma
Squamous cell carcinoma
fibrosarcoma
What are the most common oral tumors of cats?
squamous cell carcinoma (prognosis is guarded to poor)
fibrosarcoma
Osteosarcoma
What is a central ameloblastoma?
tumor of dental tissue
noninducinve mesenchyme not stimulated to produce dental hard tissues
What is an odontiogenic tumor?
tumor of the dental tissue where inductive mesenchyme is induced to produce hard tissue
can be compound - which contain teeth structures
can be complex - no differentiated to resemble teeth
What is peripheral odontogenic fibroma?
benign tumor that doesn't invade
What is an acanthomatous ameloblastmona?
benign tumor that locally invades bone
What is the signalment of dogs with undifferentiated malignant oral tumors?
seen in wounds dogs 6-24 months of age with loose teeth and no evidence of peridontal or endodontoc disease

very aggressive tumor with rapid growth and early mets
What is the cause of lip avulsion?
Shearing trauma
How do you surgically manage lip avulsion?
interdental stent sutures to support the weight of the lip

need sutures between tooth roots for whole lip avulsion
What is a salivary mucocele?
submucosal accumulation of saliva in a non epithelial, non secretory lining

sublingual gland is most common
What are the clinical presentations of salivary mucoceles?
soft, non painful swelling
-may be painful is in acute inflammatory stage or if a secondary infection is present
cervical mucocele is most common

ranula under the tongue
can cause respiratory distress from swelling?
What is marsupialization?
resection of all to keep it from healing back up
allows for drainage
