“…Subgingival crown preparations are not recommended, and if biologic width may be impinged upon, crown lengthening procedures are recommended. 5 Biologic width is “the combined width of the connective tissue and the epithelial attachment to the tooth above the crestal alveolar bone.” 5,21 Interference with or impingement on biologic width (approximately 2.5 mm from the restoration margin to the crestal bone) leads to periodontal inflammation, and a physiologic response to reestablish biologic width. 5,20 Subjectively, the feather preparation is relatively easy to perform, and the marginal or near-marginal placement is more cosmetic than the frequently recommended 1 to 2 mm supragingival margin (Figure 5).…”

Medical and dental records of Veterinary Dental Specialties and Oral Surgery were searched to identify dogs that received full metal prosthodontic crowns on canine teeth, using a feather or knife edge preparation between 2005 and 2017. A total of 160 teeth in 84 dogs were included in the study. Current follow-up by telephone, electronic mail, or electronic messaging was conducted, in addition to thorough record review for in-person recheck examinations. Treatment was considered successful if the prosthodontic crown was in place and no further or additional injury to the tooth had occurred at the time of reexamination, owner contact, or patient death. Tooth fracture apical to the prosthodontic crown occurred in 2 (1.25%) cases, bond failure between the tooth and the cement or the cement and the crown occurred in a single case (0.625%), and one metal crown required replacement after 3 years due to wear (0.625%), for an overall failure rate of 2.5%. These results suggest that feather preparation of the margin is at least as, if not more, successful as the more commonly accepted and performed chamfer margin, and thus is a successful, practical and durable option for prosthodontic crown treatment in dog canine teeth.

“…It has been suggested that the G.V. Black classification system of dental lesions based on the location can be applied to the horse (Caiafa & Visser, 2018;Earley, 2022;Wiggs & Lobprise, 1997), but the lack of an incisal edge to equine teeth and the depth of the infundibulum makes the use of this classification system awkward clinically. Currently, the terms infundibular, peripheral, and occlusal have been used to describe the location or anatomic structure involved in the decay and classification systems have been applied to further describe the extent of decay.Infundibular caries are carious lesions that originate within the infundibulum that is impacted with feed.…”

SummaryPeripheral, infundibular, and occlusal caries can result in significant dental disease affecting the quality of life of the horse. Recognition of dental caries and understanding the grading/classification and treatment options are vital for providing optimal equine oral health care. Accurate grading of dental caries and the recognition of the importance of location on the tooth impacts treatment planning that may or may not include restoration. Restoration of teeth can be performed to reduce dental decay and improve patient comfort. Restoration of teeth requires an armoury of dental restorative equipment and materials, and it is technique sensitive requiring the practitioner to have a deep understanding of dental materials and restorative dentistry. This commentary reviews the types and grading of equine dental decay, case selection for restoration, and the treatment steps for restoration of equine caries.

Causes and prevention of caries (cavities) in dogs

The Veterinary Nurse

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Caries are difficult to diagnose in their early stages, often going undetected until patients are brought in for dental treatment under general anaesthesia and assessment of teeth is performed. This late detection happens because bacteria infiltrate into the dentine, creating the perfect climate for dentine destruction from within the tooth before any involvement of the enamel is seen. This article will demonstrate how bacteria infiltrate within the oral cavity, and discuss key client communication and education along with outlining preventative oral hygiene measures to prevent caries formation including diet and daily toothbrushing. As always, prevention is better than cure and veterinary nurses are fundamental in the prevention of oral pathologies caused by bacteria.
