Study Notes
Hard Palate
- Contains papilla rostrally for sense of smell and taste
- Moveable fold of tissue overlying the hard palate
- Connects to the pharynx
- Smooth and free of papilla
- Covers the alveolar bone that supports the teeth
- Two bones create the hard palate
- Defect in this bone causes a cleft palate
- Infected and abscessed maxillary premolars or molars can cause periodontal disease
Periodontal Disease
- Thin film consisting of salivary proteins and glycoproteins
- Protects and lubricates
- Bacteria colonize and form a biofilm on the surfaces of the tooth (crown) which eventually becomes plaque
- Calcium products crystallize on the surface of the teeth and mineralize the soft plaque
- Takes approximately 2-3 days to form
- Once bacteria & dental plaque is removed, inflammation of gingivitis disappears
- Periodontitis is a non-inflammatory destruction of the endothelial barrier that protects the tooth’s supporting structures
- As bacteria moves to towards the root, periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone are destroyed
Stages of Periodontal Disease
- Gingivitis: Mild gingival inflammation, no radiographic changes. Treatment involves dental cleaning
- Early Periodontitis: Gingivitis with swelling, bleeding with probing, 25% attachment loss (sulcus depth). X-rays show loss of periodontal attachment (less than 25%). Treatment involves dental cleaning with subgingival curettage
- Moderate Periodontitis: Gum recession or hypoplasia, 25-50% loss of attachment, furcation involvement, tooth mobility, 10-20% bone loss on radiograph, gingivitis with swelling and bleeding with probing. Treatment involves more extensive procedures.
- Advanced Periodontitis: Gum recession or hypoplasia, 50% loss of attachment, furcation involvement, tooth mobility, over 30% bone loss on radiograph, gingivitis with swelling and bleeding with probing. Treatment involves extensive procedures.

- Not all plaque leads to periodontal disease; it depends on the immune response of the animal
