Evaluation of the clinical performance and effectiveness of adhesively-bonded metal crowns on damaged canine teeth of working dogs over a two- to 52-month period.
In this clinical study, 41 metal full crown restorations of canine teeth were placed in 18 working dogs. Twenty-six canine teeth had severe attrition with no involvement of the pulp cavities; 15 fractured canine teeth were endodontically treated. With the exception of one tooth, at least one-third of the coronal part of each canine tooth was available for a supragingivally performed, minimal tooth crown preparation. A dental resin luting cement technique was used to bond the electrolytically etched crown (made from an alloy of cobalt-chrome-molybdenum) to the tooth. The metal crowns were slightly shorter and with a more rounded tip than the original tooth. Posts or post-and-core techniques were not used. Median follow-up period was 30 months (range 2 to 61 months), at which time 36 crowns were found to be intact and functional. Five crowns were lost; three as a result of subsequent injury and fracture of the tooth below the crown; one as a result of use of less than one-third of the coronal portion of the tooth for retention of the crown; and one as a result of an oblique fracture of the root.
Restorative dental treatments of abraded canine teeth in a Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae).
A Sumatran tiger had developed severely abraded canine teeth by biting on cage-bars. This resulted in weakening and marked sensitivity of the teeth. Indications for, techniques of and complications of restorative dental treatments are described. The outcome of different restorative dental treatments indicates that endodontic treatment should be carried out first if the fracture of a weakened tooth is anticipated. To improve retention, the acid-etch technique is preferred in combination with macroretentive preparations. In this case, amalgam was used successfully in combination with composite resin to restore function to a canine tooth with a large distal defect.
[Veterinary dentistry (11). Feline gingivitis-stomatitis-pharyngitis complex. Chronic/recurrent stomatitis in cats].
This is the fourth article in a series on veterinary dentistry in cats. This article describes the clinical signs, possible investigations, and differential diagnosis of the gingivitis-stomatitis pharyngitis complex (GSP complex), a complex and frequently occurring disease. Strategies for the treatment of feline chronic stomatitis complex, which is frequently idiopathic, are presented.
[Veterinary dentistry (10). Dental neck lesions in cats: etiology--clinical diagnosis--therapy].
The article updates a review article by Van Zuilen (1993) on feline dental resorptive lesions by incorporating the most recent findings. The current aetiological pattern, the clinical findings, and the diagnostics, as well as guidelines for the most accepted treatment, are described.
[Veterinary dentistry (9). Classification, nomenclature and identification of animal dentition].
This article in the series about the veterinary dentistry describes how the various dentitions of mammals can be distinguished by their form and function. The number of times and manner in which teeth are shed together with the course of tooth eruption also determine the classification. Attention is paid to the nomenclature and differentiation of dental elements, how the dental formula are composed, and how these formulas differ for various species. The importance of a standardized system for classifying the position of the dental elements is stressed. The three-digit notation system of Triadan is recommended.
[Veterinary dentistry (8) Extraction of dental elements in cats].
This review gives indications for tooth extraction in cats as well as a brief description of the necessary instrumentation. General guidelines and a step-by-step procedure for an extraction lege artis are described.
[Veterinary dentistry (7). Development, anatomy and function of teeth in the cat].
This article in the series about the dentistry of companion animals deals with feline dentistry. Odontogenesis, eruption times, and the appearance of teeth are described briefly. Certain cat-specific characteristics of the anatomical features of the teeth and periodontium are described. The shape and position of tooth elements, terminology, and modern techniques for determining the position of tooth elements are dealt with in depth. Attention is paid to the relationship between the upper and lower jaws and occlusion in cats with an abnormal bite.

[Veterinary dentistry (6). From back to the roots to buck on the rock].
The Royal Netherlands Veterinary Association is organizing its yearly congress in the old city of Utrecht where all Dutch veterinarians have been graduated. 'Back to the roots' is the slogan of this meeting. The Diergeneeskundige Studenten Kring (the Dutch veterinary students association) is celebrating the 60th anniversary at the same time with the slogan: 'Bok on the rock.' On the first day of this celebration the students are organizing a symposium Veterinary Dentistry. The author has been inspired by the two slogans to a discourse in which the past and the future of animal dentistry is discussed. In 'Back to the Roots' history and anecdotes about dental treatments are presented. It is clear that dental treatment in animals is possible for every well-educated veterinarian. In 'De bok on the rock' the author shows the ropes how to develop a dental minded practice. Oral examination, a good knowledge of dentistry and a dental-minded staff are the most important factors to build up such a practice. There is an abundance of dental patients in every practice. An optimal client education and coaching is the best way to find them and to follow them.
[Veterinary dentistry (5). Instruments for extractions in pets].
The increasing dental care of companion animals requires good instruments. The instruments needed to perform extractions well are described in this article. Research into the use of the most appropriate (used in humans) instruments has led to the establishment of a set of instruments for use for simple and complicated extractions in dogs and cats.
[Veterinary dentistry (4). Tooth extraction in dogs].
In this paper of a series on small animal dentistry tooth extraction in dogs will be discussed. A review of indications for extractions, basic instrumentation, extraction techniques and their complications in dogs are described.
[Veterinary dentistry (3). Development, anatomy and function of teeth in the dog].
In this third paper in the series on dentistry in companion animals, the development, anatomy and physiology of canine teeth are discussed. A number of dental terms which are frequently used as well as the veterinary dental nomenclature are explained in detail. Finally, attention is paid to the conditions which have to be satisfied by a fitting set of canine teeth as regards the relationship between the contacting surfaces of the upper and lower teeth occlusion.
[Veterinary dentistry (1). Introduction to and review of dentistry in companion animals].
In this first paper of a series on small animal dentistry, the responsibility of the veterinarian to detect, diagnose and to treat dental problems in small animals is that of the veterinarian and nobody else, is discussed in detail. A review of the history of veterinary dentistry is followed by an introduction to the pathology and treatment of dental problems in small animals.
