QuestionAnswer
What species have brachydont teeth? • Humans • Carnivores • Pigs
What species have hypsodont teeth? • Horses • Ruminants • Rodents • Lagomorphs
Vestibular - the tooth surface facing the lips or vestibule (acceptable alternatives are “buccal” and “labial”).
Apical - a portion of the tooth that is closer to the apex (tip of the root).
Coronal - a structure with a location that is closer to the crown of the tooth in relation to another structure.
Dog: Deciduous teeth 2 × (I 3/3, C 1/1, P 3/3) = 28 teeth
Dog: Permanent teeth 2 × (I 3/3, C/1/1, P 4/4, M 2/3) = 42 teeth
Cat: Deciduous teeth 2 × (I 3/3, C 1/1, P 3/2) = 26 teeth
Cat: Permanent teeth 2 × (I 3/3, C 1/1, P 3/2, M 1/1) = 30 teeth
The cat does not have any of the following teeth: ‘05s, 306 or 406.
Paralleling Technique: The beam is directed perpendicular to the sensor and teeth
What teeth can the parallel technique be used? mandibular teeth, caudal to the symphysis
When is Bisecting Angle Technique used? Used when the paralleling technique is not an option
Occlusal Technique: Places the sensor on the occlusal plane and directs the beam perpendicular to the sensor
When is the Occlusal Technique used? Used to view nasal disease and to identify root remnants
The periodontal probe: Used to measure attachment levels, sulcus and pocket depths, loss of bone in furcation areas, and size of oral lesions.
The dental explorer: Used to explore the topography of the tooth surface
Standard-size “universal” and broad tips are designed for removing: medium and heavy deposits
Slim tip designs allow better access to: subgingival pockets and furcation areas.
A straight shank is used for: rostral teeth
An angled shank is used for: caudal teeth
A thick, rigid shank is useful for removing: heavy tenacious calculus
Thin, flexible shanks are better suited for removing: light calculus deposits or plaque.
Instruments used for supragingival scaling have a ______ tip pointed tip
Subgingival scalers, known as curettes, have a _______ tip rounded tip
Sickle scalers are used to scale the: crowns of the teeth.
Polish each tooth surface for only: 1 to 3 seconds.
Where are the nerve and blood vessel of a tooth located? pulp cavity
Triadan number for all six teeth that have three roots in a dog's mouth. 108, 109, 110, 208, 209, 210
Adult teeth start to erupt in puppies between _________. They usually are fully crowned by __________. 3-5 months of age (12-20 weeks); 6-7 months
How can you tell the difference between a supragingival scaler and a subgingival curette? A scaler has two sharp edges and a pointy tip. A curette has one sharp edge and a rounded toe.
Some clinical signs of oral disease: Pawing at mouth, facial swelling, dropping food, face rubbing, unusual aggression, sneezing or snorting after drinking or eating, pain when opening mouth, anorexia, salivating, bleeding
Normal sulcus depth for dogs: 0-3mm in dogs
Normal sulcus depth for cats: 0-1mm in cats
Abrasion refers to tooth wear associated with: aggressive chewing on external objects, such as toys, rocks, and ice cubes.
Attrition refers to wear associated with: tooth-to-tooth contact over time.
Bupivacaine takes effect in ___________ and lasts __________. 4-10 mins; 4-10 hrs
Lidocaine takes effect in ___________ and lasts __________. 3-5 mins; 1.5-2 hrs
The maximum dose of bupivacaine for dog? How about cat? 2 mg/kg in dogs and 1.5 mg/kg in cats
Name the 4 dental nerve blocks: 1. Infraorbital Nerve Block 2. Middle Mental Nerve Block 3. Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block 4. Maxillary Nerve Block
What does the infraorbital nerve block? Blocks from the tip of the needle rostrally, on the maxilla (incisors, canines, soft + hard tissue rostral to upper PM4)
What does the middle mental nerve block? Mandibular incisors + surrounding soft tissue
What does the inferior alveolar nerve block? the entire mandible
What does the maxillary nerve block? entire maxillary quadrant
Vertical bone loss occurs along the: long axis of the tooth root, causing a deep pocket
Horizontal bone loss occurs along the: length of the bone, leading to exposed roots and furcations.
Osteoconductive materials (Consil) will act as: scaffolding for new bone cells
Osteoinductive materials (Osteoallograft) stimulate: progenitor cells of osteoblasts form new bone in an area.
Indications for extraction: > 50% bone loss, complete furcation, significant mobility, pulp exposure
When is closed extraction technique used? Used for single-rooted teeth or teeth that have severe periodontal disease
List and define the 3 flaps made for open extractions: • Envelope flap - A flap with no releasing incisions • Triangle Flap - A flap with one releasing incision • Pedicle Flap - Two releasing incisions
What size suture is used to close dental flaps? 4-0 or 5-0
For dental radiography of the canine tooth, you should use what size of dental film to ensure that the whole tooth is included? 4
Dental film should be placed in the mouth with the dimple Up and pointing rostrally
When performing dental radiographs, which technique is most useful for obtaining images of the mandibular teeth caudal to the second premolars? Paralleling technique
You are looking at your dental radiograph and notice that the tooth is elongated. This happened because the beam was perpendicular to the Tooth
The flap side of the dental film should be facing Away from the tube head
The bisecting angle principle states that the plane of an x-ray beam should be 90 degrees to the Imaginary line that bisects the angle formed by the tooth’s long axis and the film plane
Which anatomic structure would be the most radiopaque on a dental radiograph? Enamel
A dorsal-ventral view in which the x-ray beam passes from the top of the nose through the teeth is Rostral maxillary
The film-focal distance for a dental radiograph machine is ___ inches. 16
