Idiopathic Cheek Teeth Fractures, Including Practice-based and Hospital-based Surveys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Horses can acquire cheek teeth (CT) fractures through many mechanisms, including external trauma, e.g. as a result of kicks, biting inanimate objects and crib biting. These traumatic fractures mainly occur in the anatomically more susceptible rostral mandibular CT. Fractures to CT can also be caused by iatrogenic trauma during dental treatments, such as cutting tall CT overgrowths with dental “shears”, especially in younger horses where relatively little secondary dentine has been laid down within the tooth. Iatrogenic CT trauma can also be caused to adjacent healthy teeth from a dental punch during CT repulsion. However, most horses with CT fractures have no history or evidence of trauma, and such fractures have been termed idiopathic CT fractures. In 24 referred cases, fractures involved 25 maxillary CT (82%) and 5 mandibular CT (18%), and the maxillary 09s (Triadan 109 & 209) were most commonly affected.

The most common clinical sign of equine dental disease is quidding (dropping partially masticated food) due to oral pain from sharp dental overgrowths, which can also cause bitting problems and occasionally head shaking. Weight loss is not a common sign unless dental disease is severe and chronic. With apical infections of the cheek teeth, mandibular swellings and fistulas; or alternatively in ...

It has been reported that fractures are more common in epileptic patients relative to the general population. Seizures by repeated muscular contractions can increase fracture risk throughout the skeleton, but the reported papers about non traumatic vertebral fractures following a single episode of seizure are rare and mostly located in thoracic spine with only one or two vertebral fr...

BACKGROUND Little is known about oral health related to electronic-cigarette (EC) use, even though EC use is increasing rapidly. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between EC use and oral health, including 'gingival pain and/or bleeding', 'tongue and/or inside-cheek pain', and 'cracked or broken teeth' among adolescents. METHODS A total of 65,528 students in 2016 were include...
متن کاملAn epidemiological survey on the prevalence of equine peripheral dental caries in the United Kingdom and possible risk factors for its development.
BACKGROUND Equine peripheral caries (PC) is an increasingly recognised disorder that causes premature wear of teeth and dental fractures and thus has major welfare implications. Little information is available on its prevalence or severity in UK horses and there are no proven associations with any risk factors. OBJECTIVES To document the prevalence of PC over a wide area of the UK, assess its...

Background Equine cheek teeth disorders, especially pulpar/apical infections, can have very serious consequences due to the frequent extension of infection to the supporting bones and/or adjacent paranasal sinuses. Limited studies have assessed the accuracy of computed tomographic (CT) imaging in the diagnosis of these disorders, and no study has directly compared imaging and pathological findi...
