Canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) has been reported to be the most common odontogenic tumor in dogs. This retrospective study evaluated 263 dogs with histopathologically confirmed CAA. Within this data set, CAA presents commonly rostral mandible adult large breed dogs, golden retriever being overrepresented. Patients appropriate follow-up after curative intent surgery were assess effect of histopathological margin on local recurrence. No recurrence was noted any patient. raises...

Advanced diagnostic imaging is an essential part of preoperative planning for oral and maxillofacial surgery in veterinary patients. 3-dimensional (3D) printed models surgical guides generated from can provide a deeper understanding the complex anatomy, including relevant spatial relationships. Additionally, patient-specific 3D allow surgeons trainees to better examine anatomical features through tactile visuospatial feedback allowing improved planning, intraoperative guidance, enhanced...

Abstract This article describes the core competencies recommended for inclusion in veterinary curriculum all graduates based on American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges Competency-Based Education document. General practice companion animal veterinarians are frequently presented with patients having dental, oral, or maxillofacial pathology, and will be relied upon recommendations maintenance oral health, including prevention periodontal disease, identification endodontic knowledge...

There is no clear guideline regarding the indication for routine lymph node extirpation and pathologic evaluation during staging of canine oral tumors, despite a relatively high nodal metastatic rate select tumor types. It particularly unclear if clinicians recommend removal nodes only when there confirmation metastasis, defined as N+ neck, or elective neck dissection (END) routinely recommended to confirm true status in clinical N0 (no evidence metastasis on with diagnostic imaging...

Digital tomosynthesis (DT) has emerged as a potential imaging modality for evaluating anatomic structures in veterinary medicine. This study aims to validate the diagnostic yield of DT identifying predefined feline cadaver heads, comparing it with conventional intraoral dental radiography (DR).

To report the outcomes of cats that underwent surgical correction for sialoceles.

Introduction Oral malignant melanoma (OMM) is the most common oral neoplasm in dogs. Tumor recurrence, progression, and regional distant metastasis remain major obstacles despite advanced therapy. size has been a consistent, key independent prognostic factor; however, other clinical histopathologic features impact prognosis likely influence optimal treatment strategies. Adoption of risk stratification scheme for canine OMM that stratifies groups dogs on defined clinicopathologic may improve...

For dogs with oral tumors, cervical lymph node (LN) metastasis alters treatment and prognosis. It is therefore prudent to make an accurate determination of the clinical presence (cN+ neck) or absence (cN0 prior treatment. Currently, surgical LN extirpation histopathology gold standard for a diagnosis metastasis. Yet, recommendations perform elective neck dissection (END) staging are rare due morbidity. Sentinel (SLN) mapping indirect computed tomography lymphangiography (ICTL) followed by...

Biomechanical studies of the elongated canine tooth animals are few, and thus our understanding mechanical physical properties animal teeth is limited. The objective present study was to evaluate influence force direction on fracture resistance pattern in an ex vivo dog cadaver model. Forty-five extracted from laboratory beagle dogs were standardized by hard tissue volume randomly distributed among 3 groups. secured within a universal testing machine load applied at different directions...

Canine acanthomatous ameloblastoma (CAA) appears to have variable biological behavior with some tumors presenting slow growth and minimal bone loss while others grow rapidly cause severe cancellous cortical destruction. The primary aim of the study is elucidate if variations (grades) CAA can be identified based on both histological diagnostic imaging indices, compare markers more aggressive between these 2 commonly used tools. This evaluated 45 cases confirmed that there high degree...

A 1 year-old male Spinone Italiano dog was treated for an amyloid producing odontogenic tumor on the right maxilla with a cytoreductive surgery followed by definitive radiation protocol. Six years later presented new mass rostral mandible as well lung nodule without recurrence of original maxillary tumor. Both mandibular and were histologically confirmed to be based appearance sheets cords epithelium disrupted amorphous extracellular amyloid. The primary difference between pathology APOT,...

An apical dye leakage test was utilized to compare 2 endodontic sealer systems commonly used in veterinary treatment. Rotary instrumentation followed by injection of different sealers (GuttaFlow and AH Plus) a single master cone obturation technique were compared. Following restoration, specimens immersed India ink for 48 hours. A tooth mineral clearing render the samples transparent. Subsequently, apices evaluated prevalence magnitude penetration under magnification. Statistical analysis...

Abstract OBJECTIVE Determine locoregional diagnostic yield of 4-site screening (head, neck, chest, and abdomen) to diagnose metastatic disease or clinically significant comorbid diseases in dogs with oral cancer. ANIMALS 381 histologically confirmed tumors. METHODS Medical records from tumors that underwent preoperative were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Skull neck CT scan was performed on 348 patients. Bone lysis present 74.4% Oral squamous cell carcinoma, sarcomas, T2-T3 (> 2 cm)...

This study evaluated the effect of filling technique and rotational speed on efficacy sealer cement placement using Lentulo spiral filler. Cadaveric maxillary mandibular canine teeth (n = 74) from age breed matched fresh-frozen adult cadaver heads were utilized. Following routine mechano-chemical preparation, randomly divided into 8 treatment groups with varying speeds [250-2,000 revolutions per minute (RPM)] fill techniques (backfill versus pumping technique). The quality was...

The reported failure rate for full veneer crowns of canine teeth dogs is suboptimal, particularly in with naturally poor retentive features, such as those low height/diameter (H/D) ratios or high convergence angles (CAs). objective the present study was to evaluate application axial grooves an effort develop a crown preparation design that enhances retention dogs. Crown dislodgment testing performed on cast alloy dies unfavorable features (low H/D and CA) prepared (n = 14) without 15) force...

Periodontal disease is one the most common pathologies in small animal medicine, yet new graduates report they feel unprepared to perform dentistry general practice. Novel methodologies close knowledge gap veterinary need be identified. Typodonts (dental models) are commonly used human dental schools teach basic principles prior practice on clinical patients and have been shown an effective teaching tool. The study aimed determine if independent self-guided a typodont structured, in-person...

The first molar is the largest tooth in dog mandible with roots often extending to level of mandibular canal (MC). anatomical relationship between and MC variable normal those structures a diverse population dogs has not been established. lingual location relative poses risk for iatrogenic trauma during dentoalveolar surgery, it unknown if certain skull conformations are predisposed this relationship. This study aimed identify associations patient weight type root location. CT scans...

Abstract OBJECTIVE To evaluate the kinematics and stability of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) cats dogs with without a TMJ replacement (TMJR) prosthesis under simulated bite forces mouth opening. ANIMALS Sixteen cadaver skulls from domestic (n = 8) medium- to large-breed 8). METHODS Intact TMJs were tested. Following condylectomy coronoidectomy, fitted TMJR unilaterally retested. Prosthesis was similarly implanted in contralateral 4 before retesting. Left right motions evaluated contact peak...

An 8-year-old male intact mixed breed dog was treated for a 3.7×3×3.6 cm grade 1 multilobular osteochondrosarcoma (MLO) arising from the dorsal aspect of right coronoid process with coronoidectomy, zygomectomy, and caudal maxillectomy. Ten months later, presented swelling near angular process, which presumed to be locoregional recurrence. Blood work initial staging tests (abdominal ultrasound) had mild abnormalities no clinical concern/significance. The hospitalized plan computed tomographic...

Odontodysplasia is an uncommon dental developmental disorder associated with enamel, dentin, pulp abnormalities, and overall tooth morphology.
