Oral and Periodontal Tissue

Odontogenic Cysts in Three Dogs: One Odontogenic Keratocyst and Two Dentigerous Cysts

“…The strength of the jaw bone has been reportedly maintained by placing bone prosthetic material in the tooth extraction wound [10], and freeze-dried bone [2] and calcium preparation [4] have also been placed in the defective part of the jaw bone after the cyst extirpation. In the present study, however, no such materials were used.…”

Full-Mouth Radiographic Survey of Periodontal Bone Loss in Dogs

“…Because of the bone loss, periodontitis can cause a significant increase in depth of the pocket where plaque can accumulate, and continue its destructive process (Wiggs and Lobprise 1997). Typically, the untreated periodontitis leads to tooth loss in small-breed dogs.…”

“…With vertical bone loss, infrabony pockets may develop. Radiographically these are usually evidenced by a vertical or V-shaped flaw, with the root of the tooth forming one side of the Table 3 Spearman correlation coefficients between periodontal indexes and alveolar bone loss in total defect (Wiggs and Lobprise 1997;Mulligan et al 1998). It is important to differentiate between horizontal and vertical bone loss from a treatment point of view (Herr et al 1995).…”

“…Periodontal disease is accompanied by a combination of soft and hard tissue changes. It must be understood that various stages of periodontal disease can exist in the same oral cavity at the same time (Wiggs and Lobprise 1997). To adequately assess and monitor periodontal disease, using the periodontal probe and radiographic survey are extremely important.…”

Early pain management after periodontal treatment in dogs – comparison of single and combined analgesic protocols

“…In all dogs, PDI levels were assessed (Wiggs and Lobprise 1997) and recorded. Periodontal treatment started 15 min after nerve block loading time.…”
