| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: The present study was undertaken to study the incidence of periodontal disease to carry out investigation on PD in dogs and to assess the therapeutic efficacy in stages 1 and 2 of periodontal diseases. The overall incidence was 86.67 percent. Breed wise incidence showed highest incidence of occurrence in boxer, irish setter, Chihuahua and shih tzu followed by Mongrel. Age wise incidence was highest in age group of 9 years and above with no sex predisposition. Small sized dogs and dogs fed with soft diets had higher incidence of periodontal diseases. Clinical signs in periodontal disease included plaque formation, gingivitis, halitosis, drooling of saliva, pawing the mouth, calculus deposition, gingival recession, gums that bleed when probed, discomfort on eating, tooth mobility, purulent exudates and ulceration of the gingival mucosa. Orastrip was quick check examination tool for assessing the oral health status and in the assessment of active periodontal disease. Staging of PD was done based on the periodontal indices namely attachment loss and furcation. Radiographic examination in periodontal disease revealed widening of periodontal ligament space, alveolar bone destruction in dogs affected with stage 3 and 4. Transillumination showed mild to severe form of gingivitis suggesting active periodontitis and can be taken as initial room examination procedure in dogs affected with PD. Haematology showed neutrophilic leukocytosis. Serum biochemical findings did not show any statistically significant in the mean levels of ALT, AST, ALP, total protein, albumin, glucose, BUN creatinine and CK-MB in dogs with periodontal disease. Therapeutic protocol adopted in periodontal disease included scaling, polishing followed by administration of chews or brushing in stage 1 dogs affected with periodontal disease while in stage 2 the protocol included scaling, polishing and instillation of doxycycline gel in the areas of attachment loss and furcation followed by administration of chews or brushing. Brushing daily was found to be superior when compared to dental chews in both stage 1 and Stage 2 periodontal disease. | en_US |
