Panorals do not provide suffcient detail for the diagnosis of smaller lesions.18 Parallax radiographs should be considered as this technique will yield further infor- a mation about the site and type of lesion. Using the ‘same lingual, opposite buccal rule’ (SLOB) the shift of an external lesion can be detected. Internal lesions, however, should remain in a similar position relative to the root canal (Figs 2a-c).19 a The limitations of routine den- tal radiography are widely known.20–22 Superimposition of anatomical features, inadvertent distortion when flm holders are used and the two-dimensional nature of the image may result in a less than ideal image. Furthermore, it has been demon- strated that radiographs may not be suf- fciently sensitive to enable diagnosis of external resorptive lesions.18 The size of b the lesion, its location, local anatomy and b bone density have all been demonstrated to infuence the detection of lesions.23–25 Small resorptive cavities and those pre- sent on buccal and lingual surfaces are more likely to remain undiagnosed.23,25,26 Signifcant differences in inter and intra- rater detection of resorption have been demonstrated.27,28 Thus clinicians should be aware of these limitations, examine radiographs under appropriate conditions and refer for an opinion for further imag- ing if in doubt.

  • Establishment of a Dental Effects of Hypophosphatasia Registry Thesis
    Establishment of a Dental Effects of Hypophosphatasia Registry Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Laura Winslow, DMD Graduate Program in Dentistry The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis Committee Ann Griffen, DDS, MS, Advisor Sasigarn Bowden, MD Brian Foster, PhD Copyrighted by Jennifer Laura Winslow, D.M.D. 2018 Abstract Purpose: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a metabolic disease that affects development of mineralized tissues including the dentition. Early loss of primary teeth is a nearly universal finding, and although problems in the permanent dentition have been reported, findings have not been described in detail. In addition, enzyme replacement therapy is now available, but very little is known about its effects on the dentition. HPP is rare and few dental providers see many cases, so a registry is needed to collect an adequate sample to represent the range of manifestations and the dental effects of enzyme replacement therapy. Devising a way to recruit patients nationally while still meeting the IRB requirements for human subjects research presented multiple challenges. Methods: A way to recruit patients nationally while still meeting the local IRB requirements for human subjects research was devised in collaboration with our Office of Human Research. The solution included pathways for obtaining consent and transferring protected information, and required that the clinician providing the clinical data refer the patient to the study and interact with study personnel only after the patient has given permission. Data forms and a custom database application were developed. Results: The registry is established and has been successfully piloted with 2 participants, and we are now initiating wider recruitment.

Simple Summary: The small size of the feline mandible makes its manipulation difficult when fixing dislocations of the temporomandibular joint or mandibular fractures. In both cases, non-invasive techniques should be considered first. When not possible, fracture repair with internal fixation using bone plates would be the best option. Simple jaw fractures should be repaired first, and caudal to rostral. In addition, a ventral approach makes the bone fragments exposure and its manipulation easier. However, the cat mandible has little space to safely place the bone plate screws without damaging the tooth roots and/or the mandibular blood and nervous supply. As a consequence, we propose a conceptual model of a mandibular prosthesis that would provide biomechanical Citation: Lombardero, M.; stabilization, avoiding any unintended (iatrogenic) damage to those structures.

  • Feline Tooth Resorption Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL)
    Feline Tooth Resorption Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL) What is tooth resorption? Tooth resorption is a destructive process that eats away at teeth and is quite common in cats. Up to 50% of cats over the age of 8 will have resorptive lesions. Of those 50% with lesions, 50% of them will have more than one. This process can be very painful, and due to the nature of the cat, many will not show obvious signs of pain. These lesions will often require immediate treatment. Feline tooth resorption does progress and will require treatment to avoid pain and loss of function. This process is not necessarily preventable, but studies do show that cats who do not receive oral hygiene care are at an increased risk of development of resorptive lesions. Feline patients diagnosed with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus and Feline Leukemia Virus are also more likely to develop lesions. Despite the health status of your cat, it is important to know tooth resorption is a common and treatable disease. What causes tooth resorption? Tooth resorption is an idiopathic disease of the teeth. This means that the cause is unknown. We do know odontoclasts, the cat’s own cells, begin to destroy the structure of the tooth. Sometimes resorption will be associated with a tooth root abscess, although this is uncommon. What are the clinical signs of this? Cats with tooth resorption will often have inflammation of the gum tissue surrounding the affected tooth. Your veterinarian will comment on the teeth and gums during the oral part of the physical examination. Even though an oral exam is done, many of these lesions are below the gum line and require dental radiography to fully diagnose.

    Feline Alveolar Osteitis Treatment Planning: Implant Protocol with Osseodensification and Early Crown Placement Rocco E. Mele DVM1, Gregori M. Kurtzman, DDS, MAGD, DICOI,DIDIA2 1 Eastpoint Pet Clinic, Tucson, A, USA 2 Silver Spring, MD, USA Abstract: Feline dental implants are becoming a predictable and viable treatment option for the replacement of lost canines due to maxillary Alveolar Osteitis (AO) a painful condition, commonly experienced by a growing number of cats. Surgical extraction and debridement remains the treatment of choice for this complex inflammatory process. However, future complications can be a common sequela of maxillary canine loss. This case will demonstrate the successful surgical extraction of a maxillary canine with implant placement following the osseodensification protocol and utilizing the sockets osteitis buttressing bone formation to promote a positive result with final crown restoration 13 weeks following implant placement. Introduction: Alveolar Osteitis (AO) is a chronic inflammatory process more often diagnosed in maxillary canine sockets of the feline patient. Clinical presentation may include oral pain, bleeding, periodontitis, tooth resorption (ORL), and alveolar buccal bone changes.1-5 Clinical Features: A presumptive diagnosis of (AO) is made on the awake patient, documenting clinical features such as; gingivitis with soft tissue swelling, gingival mucosal erythema, buccal bone expansion, and coronal extrusion. (Figure 1) Radiographic Features: Radiographic changes are identified under general anesthesia. These bony changes and pathology may include; deep palatal probing (Figure 2 red), alveolar bone expansion (Figure 2 green), buttressing condensing bone (Figure 2 blue) and a mottled osseous appearance mimicking rough, large trabeculae (Figure 2 yellow) Osseodensification (OD): OD is a novel biomechanical bone preparation technique for dental implant placement to improve bone quality by increasing its density utilizing Densah burs.

Internal resorption, a rare phenomenon, has been a quandary from the standpoints of both its diagnosis and treatment. It is usually asymptomatic and discovered by chance on routine radiographic examinations or by a classic clinical sign, “pink spot” in the crown. This paper emphasizes the etiology and pathophysiologic mechanisms involved in internal root resorption. Prognosis is good for smaller lesions; however, for those with extensive resorption associated with perforation the tooth structure is greatly weakened and the prognosis remains poor. 1. Introduction teeth. Unlike the deciduous teeth, the permanent teeth rarely undergo resorption unless stimulated by a pathological Tooth resorption presents itself either as a physiological process. Pathologic resorption occurs following traumatic or a pathological process occurring internally (pulpally injuries, orthodontic tooth movement, or chronic infections derived) or externally (periodontally derived).

  • Feline Tooth Resorption Lesions
    METROWEST VETERINARY ASSOCIATES, INC. 207 EAST MAIN STREET, MILFORD, MA 01757 (508) 478-7300 online @ www.mvavet.com Feline Tooth Resorption Lesions Feline tooth resorption lesions (aka RLs) are one of the most common causes of tooth loss in cats, with as many as 65% of domestic cats affected. The lesions start at, or even below the gum line, and may affect any tooth. If untreated, RLs can lead to further periodontal disease, oral pain, infections and potentially, problems in other areas of the body. Because we don’t know what causes tooth resorption, we do not know how to prevent it. The presentation of RLs is variable. In brief, teeth are composed of enamel on the outside, dentin below it and pulp on the inside. In a stage 1 lesion, a defect in the enamel is seen. Stage 2 lesions affect the enamel and dentin beneath it. In stage 3 lesions, the tooth is affected down to the pulp. Stage 4 RLs the crown of the tooth has been eroded or fractured ( ). Resorptive lesions may also occur entirely below the gum line, with damage to the roots of the tooth while the tooth appears normal above the gum line. For this reason, dental x-rays are vital during dental procedures to help identify affected teeth As cats have more nerve endings in their teeth than people, RLs can be very painful to the cat. Signs may include difficulty chewing (especially dry food), apparent decrease in appetite, halitosis (bad breath), drooling, inflamed gums, oral bleeding, vomiting and/or decreased grooming.
