ABSTRACT

 

Javdani M, Ziaei N., Prevalence of dental pathology in young and adult dogs, Onl J Vet Res., 28 (12): 885-888, 2024. Prevalence of dental pathology in 3-6 (21), 6-12 (30), 12-24 (44) and 24-60 month old (20) dogs is reported. Plaque, periodontal disease and malocclusion was common in 3 to 6 month old puppies. However, compared with 3-6 month old dogs, in those =>2 years had 2.6 fold more plaque, 2.4 fold periodontal problems, 7 fold more cavities and 5 times more fractures. However, periodontal disease was 33.3% in young pups 43.33 in 6-12 month, 61.4 12-24 but 80% in those older than 2 years. We found no difference in malocclusion at any age. As expected, results suggest prevalence of gingival problems and periodontal disease, dental plaques, caries and cavities was greater in older dogs.

 

Key words: pet dog, dental problems, periodontal disease, dental plaques, dental fractures.
