“…In humans they are regarded as defects generally caused by abrasive actions and trauma from occlusion (Rupprecht et al, 2001, Tal, 1983, Edel, 1981 Reported proportional figures in humans are as high as 13.4% for dehiscences and 16.9% for fenestrations (Rupprecht et al, 2001). The koala with rates of 25.2% and 19.2% are higher still.…”

Oral health in South East Queensland Koalas: Prevalence of periodontal disease and other pathologies

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is one of Australia's most highly specialised folivores with a diet exclusively of eucalyptus leaves to provide all nutritive needs. For this it is dependent on good dentition for optimal health and quality of life. The purpose of this study was to characterise and describe the level of oral health and disease in koalas and then create tools for ongoing analysis.The historical records over a 17-year period were noted for the koalas admitted to the Moggill Koala Hospital in South East Queensland. Further, in this study the conclusions were that oral health issues when they existed were only being identified as "low key" due to the lack of investigative tools being used during examinations. This provided the reasoning and impetus behind developing tools to determine the true extent of oral health conditions in the koala. A suitable assessment tool for diagnosing the oral health was designed based on the index scoring methodology and the layout of the Moggill Koala Hospital admission chart, a new oral health chart template was developed. The chart was based on examination of 30 "free-range koalas" and validation and quality assurance analysis of four examiners of varying qualifications. The chart was separated into three sections; containing general animal information such as sex, age, and current systemic health; the General Oral Cavity section and containing information on 12 koala-specific health questions and finally a section on the periodontal health. The charting data is multifunctional with analysis of individual koalas, (sex, group or age). The data from each section provided an index value that was compatible with values from other species clinical charting systems.Using the chart, populations of 200 "free-range" and 95 captive koalas (from three zoos) were examined. Three major indexes were developed during the chart development process and used the following equation; General Oral Cavity (GOCI) + Oral Health Index (OHI) = Final Oral Health Index (FOHI). Initially, the three major index values plus all additional information of each chart were analysed to show the current baseline values of oral health conditions in the koala. Any ii comparison based on singular or multiple animals would either show a decline, same rate or increase from the baseline. These baseline parameters could be compared against any other species that uses the same 0-3 index system.The proportion of koalas from the whole population with an orally related problem was 86%.The average FOHI for the koala as a species was 3.78 ± 3.19, median 3.00. This is the mild category and held 84.5% of all cases. The maximum scores for the groups showed Zoo 3 as having lower range (Zoo 1; 11.42 for a TWC 1 male, Zoo 2; 13.40, Zoo 3; 4.13 and "free-range"; 15.98). The third zoo was the only group to have also had significantly better oral health than "free-range" koalas.Captive koalas showed high scoring at young age (11.42), the "free-range" comparable age score was 3.84. At population level when controlli...

“…Mucosal fenestration may be attributed to decreased thickness of the alveolar housing, labioversion of the tooth in the dental arch, contour of the root apex, occlusal factors, ortho-dontic tooth movement, periodontal and endodontic pathology and aberrant frenal attachment. 4,5,6 Mucosal fenestration is most frequently found in the mandibular or maxillary anterior teeth region, particularly on the labial aspect because of tooth angulation that places the root apices in alabial version. Mucosal fenestrations have been reported in literature but are far less prevalent as compared to normal fenestration perhaps due to symptom free nature.…”

Aim: Mucosal fenestrations affecting permanent teeth are clinically challenging because they require a more complex approach. The objective of this case report was to describe a treatment modality used to manage an apical fenestration placed on the left mandibular central incisor root.Case Report: The case report describes the management of a patient with mucosal fenestration of root apex. Mucosal fenestration of root apex was treated by a combination of root canal treatment and surgery. Root-end resection was performed to bring the root apex within the alveolus before root-end filling and packing of the bony defects with platelet rich fibrin. The dehiscence of the buccal labial plate was managed by placement of a barrier membrane. The edges of the soft tissue defect was then deepithelialized, approximated and sutured.Discussion: Various treatment modalities advocated in the literature for the management of mucosal fenestration include-root canal treatment and root-end resection, blind root surface instrumentation and mouth rinsing with chlorhexidine, full thickness mucogingival flap with primary or secondary healing, pedicle flap operations, epithelialized and non-epithelialized grafting procedures for root coverage and full thickness mucogingival flaps with guided tissue regeneration and bone grafting. Conclusion:The endodontic and periodontal surgical techniques used in the management of alveolar or mucosal fenestrations alone are unremarkable but combining them can give optimum outcome.

“…1) have been discussed in a number of previous studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Such defects of the thin alveolar bone have been suggested to be due to anatomical factors [6][7][8]11,12,15,16] (buccolingual tooth malposition), occlusal function [4,5] or a number of other unidentified abnormal causes, but none of these have been clearly identified.…”
