Hard connective tissue that makes up a bulk of the tooth. This layer is formed throughout the life of an animal. (Gorrel 2013)
This layer of the tooth is the innermost layer of the tooth, consists of nervous, vascular, and loose connective tissue. (Gorrel 2013)
Connective tissue that attaches the root cementum to the alveolar bone. This structure acts as a suspensory ligament for the tooth and is in a continuous state of physiologic activity (2 wds). (Gorrel 2013)
This type of extraction is for single rooted teeth and uses simple luxation and/or elevation, without the need to remove alveolar bone. (Gorrel 2013)
This extraction technique is used for multirooted and canine. This type of extraction creates a mucoperiosteal flap and removes the overlying alveolar bone to remove the tooth. (Gorrel 2013)

Temporomandibular joint luxations most frequently occur in what orientation? (Marretta, “Oral and Dental Trauma,” 2017)
A __________ is essential in determining the extent of bone involvement for any oral tumor that is grossly appreciated, however, an estimated 40% of bone loss must occur before boney involvement can be appreciated in the image. (Marretta, “Oral Tumors,” 2017)
