Q

According to “Modified distal wedge excision for access and Tx of an infra bony pocket in a dog” by Klima, Goldstein, how was the infra bony pocket of 309 treated in a 6y Dachshund?

A

Staged procedure to extract 310 with PD3-4 then return for perio surgery of 309 in 6 weeks; surgery entailed a modified wedge resection along the alveolar crest, exposure to the site, and placement of a bone graft with osteoconductive, synthetic bioactive ceramic, then sutured closed and recheck radiographs in 6mo

4
Q

According to “Modified distal wedge excision for access and Tx of an infra bony pocket in a dog” by Klima, Goldstein, why was this called bone augmentation not GTR? what # of walled defect was this? what time of bone graft was used? what suture? could things have been done better per the author?

A

no membrane was placed; 3 walled; osteoconductive biogloss (alloplast); 4-0 chromic gut; could have used membrane for GTR, autograft is best, and could have used 4/5-0 monocryl as chromic gut only lasts 14d and is extremely inflammatory/irritating as it is absorbed by phagocytosis not hydrolysis

complete resolution of clinical signs… no histo so unsure if regeneration or repair but on rads normalizing PDL space; cupping defect, osseous crater; co is the interdental valley of non-keratinized tissue between two closely positioned teeth (site of inflammation and bacterial accumulation)

7
Q

According to “Modified distal wedge excision for access and Tx of an infra bony pocket in a dog” by Klima, Goldstein, define allograft and alloplast. what is the purpose of a membrane?

A

allograft from same species, mineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) and decalcified freeze-dried bone graft (DFBDA), osteoconductive, osteoinductive; alloplast osteoconductive only (no inductive or genic properties), synthetic material including plaster of Paris, calcium carbonates tricalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, and bioglass (used here), promotes repair, not necessarily regeneration; prevent downgrowht of epithelium and healing w long junctional epithelium and CT, goal to get regeneration not repair

Q

According to “Open root planing for a PD pocket of a maxillary canine tooth” by Greenfield, a 10y MN Dachshund presents for a COHAT. Define this term. What did they find on oral exam? What was the tx recommendation?

A

comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment; Stage 3 PD palatal 104, Stage 2 304, 404, TR 205; recommended X 205, RPO and placement of bone graft (alloplast) palatal 104, RPC and doxirobe of 304, 404, followed by daily tooth brushing and COHAT q6mo w rads to monitor

9
Q

A

3 walled; btwn mandibular first and second molars and palatal maxillary canine; standard 8.5%; complete healing of 104 pocket (3mm) and 304/404 (2mm)

10
Q

According to “Open root planing for a PD pocket of a maxillary canine tooth” by Greenfield, what are some of the mechanisms in which periodontal bacteria evade host defenses and cause tissue destruction? what are some mediators produced that are part of the host response to tissue destruction? what mediator is partly responsible for bone loss? bone loss in PD is not necrosis, explain this.

A

IgA and IgG degrading proteases degrade specific antibodies, leukotoxins that inhibit PMNS, heat sensitive surface proteins that lead to apoptosis of PMNs and inhibit IL-8 production of epithelial cells causing impairment of PMN response to bacteria; proteinases (MMPs, elastase, cathepsin G, neutrophil serine proteinase), cytokines (IL1, TNFa) prostaglandins; PGE2 (remember orthodontic mvmt too); not necrosis but activity of living cells along bone, as soft tissue destruction occurs, exposes root and subsequent bone resorption occurs, tissue necrosis and purulent d/c is from the soft tissues, not bone, there is a normal turnover of periodontium by bacetierla proteinases and mediators and inhibition of host cells, in diseased state it is no longer in balance

11
Q

According to “Open root planing for a PD pocket of a maxillary canine tooth” by Greenfield, what are the 2 types of pocket? what are some mentioned root surface applications mentioned? why not use them? what is the goal of this type of perio surgery with bone augmentation?

A

gingival/pseudopocket and periodontal pocket; root conditioners, etc to improve attachment/CT: citric acid (low pH causes damage to soft tissue), EDTA (not approved in vet texts), fibronectin and tetracycline (as well as citric acid) have no literature proving improved attachment over root planing alone; new attachment with periodontal regeneration

12
Q

According to “Open root planing for a PD pocket of a maxillary canine tooth” by Greenfield, what happens if gingiva populates root surface first? bone? what is the difference btwn osteogenesis and osteoinductive? what are some examples of osteoconductive only grafts? what was used in this case report?

A

gingiva first leads to root resorption; bone first leads to root resorption or ankylosis; goal is to have periodontal tissues (PDL, cementum) repopulate first); osteogenesis has blasts within the graft, only autografts can do this, while osteoinductive means the product will aid in generation of new bone via BMPs converting neighboring cells into blasts to make new bone (DFBDA); FDBA (not decalcified), hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, bioactive glass; SBGP: synthetic bioactive graft particulate

13
Q

According to “Open root planing for a PD pocket of a maxillary canine tooth” by Greenfield, how long does doxirobe last? what are its properties?

A

2-4 wks to aid in healing of perio tissues; antimicrobial, anti-collagenase, stimulates fibroblast activity

Q

According to “Effect of kibble size, shape, and additives on plaque in cats” by Clarke, Biouge et al, 40 mixed breed cats 1.5-7y were placed into 4 groups following 14d dry kibble only diet A for acclimation and dental charting and blood work. then a dental prophylaxis was performed following by 7d acclimation period on diet A. Then, cats were evaluated under GA, plaque scored and teeth were cleaned again, at that time, they were split into 4 groups. What were the 4 groups of kibble diet? Once diet was initiated 7d later plaque score was performed and again at 28d post diet change.

21
Q

According to “Effect of kibble size, shape, and additives on plaque in cats” by Clarke, Biouge et al, which diets contained STPP? PRN? Which were larger/rectangular?

A

Diet B and C had STPP (sodium triphosphate); Diet D had PRN; diet C/D were larger

22
Q

According to “Effect of kibble size, shape, and additives on plaque in cats” by Clarke, Biouge et al, what was measured? was there any significant difference between cats fed diet A and B on day 7 or 28? what was the theory as to why cats fed diet with STPP did not change their plaque score?

A

individual coverage and thickness scores from gingival half of tooth (gingival half score) and a total mouth plaque score, mean gingival score, and coronal half plaque score; no; bc sodium triphosphate do not reduce plaque accumulation but are mineral chelators and mineralization inhibitors that bind salivary calcium helping to reduce the formation of calculus

23
Q

According to “Effect of kibble size, shape, and additives on plaque in cats” by Clarke, Biouge et al, between diet C and D, which had better results? why was C better than A/B? Why was D better than A, B, and C at reducing plaque?

A

Diet D had a more significant reduction in plaque (43% less than A/B at day 28); C was a larger, harder kibble with greater SA and thickness providing more mechanical debridement; D contained not only STPP to prevent calculus formation, but was larger (like C) and contained PRN

24
Q

According to “Effect of kibble size, shape, and additives on plaque in cats” by Clarke, Biouge et al, what is PRN? how does it work? Was Diet D larger or smaller than C? what is most important for reduction of plaque?

A

sodium ascorbic phosphate group (ascorbic acid- Vit C), water soluble vitamin promotes wound healing, helps maintain normal CT, and aids in promotion of healthy teeth and gums; ascorbic acid promotes collagen synthetic CT protein at the level of hydroxylation of propyl and lysol residues of pro collagen, has a direct effect on gingival inflammation, bleeding, risk of PD, and amount of visible plaque; D had slightly less SA and volume than C, but contained PRN which improved its efficacy (D had 12% less plaque than C at day 28); size and texture of kibble for mechanical debridement and addition of PRN may be useful

25

29
Q

According to “Oral pathology in Swedish dogs: a retrospective study of 280 biopsies” by Svendenius, Warfvinge, what was the overall median age? was the overrepresentation of males w malignant neoplasia significant? there was a higher number of POFs amongst females, is this consistent w previous studies? the most frequent breed represented per 1000 individuals was the Kerry Blue Terrier. Is this significant?

A

8y; no; Yes; while it was statistically significant, it may not be transferable to a larger population due to odd misrepresentation within the study population (geographically)

Abstract: According to “presence and quantification of mast cells in gingiva of cats w TR, PD, and FCGS” by Ari, Verstraete, et al, 32 cats affected by TR, FCGS and PD were compared to 7 healthy cat gingiva to determine mast cells and inflammatory infiltrate via H&E and toluidine blue stains. What were the significant findings regarding mast cells? Was there any difference between groups? was the inflammatory infiltrate the same amongst groups?

A

Mast cell densities were significantly increased in gingival tissues adjacent to teeth affected by TR, FCGS, and PD compared to healthy cats; no; no, significantly lower adjacent to teeth w TR than PD or FCGS;

32
Q

Abstract: According to “presence and quantification of mast cells in gingiva of cats w TR, PD, and FCGS” by Ari, Verstraete, et al, why do the authors postulate that mast cells may play a role in TR?

A

bc of mild inflammatory infiltrate and high number of mast cells, pathogenesis of TR involves differentiation or activation of osteoclasts and RANKL, mast cells produce and maintain these mediators…

33
Q

Abstract: According to “Mandibular Rim excision in 7 dogs” by Arzi, Verstraete, a case series of 7 dogs with mandibular rim excision were performed to 1cm margins. Why did they recommend a curvilinear rim mandibulectomy over right angled excision? what are some advantages to rim excision over segmental mandibulectomy? how often is the dog rechecked w rads, exam?

A

strong indications in ppl that curvilinear excision resists higher occlusal forces than R angled excisions, also tumors usually follow elliptiform pattern and thesis more bone sparing following tumor margins more appropriately; advantages include superior post op fxn, absence of mandibular drift, esthetics, well improved capacity for reconstruction and rehabilitation, spares mandibular canal and content; recheck 3-4 wks, rads at 6mo, and annual, or recommend q3-6mo following initial recheck

Q

According to”Prosthodontic Tx of a wild jaguar” by Emily, why…. just WHY?

A

They took a 4y jaguar with a CCF 104 and instead of just RCT they placed a crown extension prosthesis with a post and 4 TMS pins (2 internal/exernal) and used composite to stabilize it; So now when the jaguar refractures its tooth, the entire post will come out exposing the poorly filled RCT OR it will be killed for the gold tip on its tooth. Nice work.

time lapse between accident and tx can be critical to a favorable outcome; concussion, subluxation, lateral luxation, extrusive luxation, intrusive luxation, avulsion; first step is to stabilize the patient!

84
Q

According to “Wire-composite splint for luxation of the maxillary canine tooth” by Startup, what are the properties of an ideal splint? following cleaning, a wire was placed across the palate to stabilize the canine (figure 8), then acid etch and dentinal bonding agent followed by composite. What is the optional step mentioned?

A

semi-rigidity allowing for some vertical movement of the tooth, esthetic and easy to clean, uncomplicated to make, stable w accurate repositioning, does not impede other necessary therapy such as endodontics; can place composite buccally and cover wire twist OR can also place palatal composite to completely cover wire while utilizing bite wax or another spacer (3mm) between palate and composite, the splint is then smoothed w diamond bur, white stone and other polishing discs

85
Q

According to “Wire-composite splint for luxation of the maxillary canine tooth” by Startup, the author mentions tx of TDI in 2 stages, what are they? Luxation (lateral at least), usually requires endodontic therapy. When is this recommended? What are the guidelines from the International association of dental traumatology regarding tx of lateral luxation and avulsion?

A

short-term emergency tx and stabilization and long-term mgmt and review; endodontic therapy is usually recommended 7-10d after injury to prevent pulp infection and root resorption, this doesn’t usually work for our patients bc it requires anesthesia; according to guidelines, for lateral luxation or avulsion, splint should be placed for 4 weeks and RCT w calcium hydroxide should be performed 7-10d following injury but can be done sooner, remaining endodontic therapy w GP and final restoration should be done in ~1month, hence in vet med we typically do temporary RCT w CaOH, then place splint and remove splint and complete RCT at 1 mo.
