| − | *The [[Cavity & Gingiva - Pathology|gingival crevice]] is an important site for disease processes in mouth to begin.
| |
| | | | |
| − | *In ruminants and rodents [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] may fail to oppose properly or to allow side to side movement of jaws. This produces uneven wear (especially in horse). Sharp edges are produced on the outside of the [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] in the upper jaw and inside of the [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] in the lower jaw, which causes painful feeding and inanition (not eating).
| |
| − | **Approximately 75% of wasting horses have dental abnormalities.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *This is not a problem in carnivores as do they not use [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] for [[Mastication|mastication]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *If a [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] is lost the opposing [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] may become very long and stop mouth closing properly.
| |
| − | **Seen mostly in rodents - [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] may even penetrate through [[Lips - Anatomy & Physiology|lip]].

| |
| − | *17% of cases.
| |
| − | *Proliferation of fibrous tissue with variety of osteoid, [[Cementum - Anatomy & Physiology|cementum]] or [[Dentine - Anatomy & Physiology|dentine]]-like material.
| |
| − | *Isolated strands or islands of odontogenic epithelium always present (ie: suggesting induction of connective tissue by the epithelial cells).
| |

| |

| − | *Islands and sheets of mature odontogenic epithelium within a collagenous fibrous connective tissue stroma of low/moderate cellularity.
| |
| − | *Each of the islands bounded by a row of tall columnnar cells.
| |
| − | *These palisading cells exhibit polarisation away from the basement membrane and had cytoplasmic vacuolation.
| |
| − | *Central cells had a basaloid appearance.
| |
| − | *Often infiiltrating into the underlying bone.
| |

| |
| − | ====In ruminants:====
| |
| − | *Damage to [[Enamel - Anatomy & Physiology|enamel]] formation most often caused by fluoride poisoning.
| |
| − | *Seen in cattle grazing on pasture contaminated by cement works effluent.
