“…36 A study 37 that evaluated the teeth of 63 dogs after anesthesia found a 27% prevalence of crown fractures, which is similar to the present study. In contrast, other studies 30,38 found a AJVR prevalence of dental fractures from 2.6% (139/5,370) to 7.7% (36/468), which is much lower than the present study. Although previous studies have found differences in prevalence rates based on various assessment methods and study conditions, there have been consistent findings for a higher prevalence of dental fractures in large-breed dogs.…”

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the dental abnormalities by visually assessing the labial and buccal photographs in dogs and cats and analyze their prevalence based on age and breed. ANIMALS 1,096 client-owned dogs and 775 client-owned cats. METHODS Data were collected from patients who visited 26 private veterinary clinics from January to December 2022. Each animal was evaluated through dental photographs taken from the labial and buccal sides. Correlations between the prevalence of the identified dental abnormalities and age, craniofacial type, and breed, were analyzed. RESULTS Calculus, discoloration, epulis, fractured teeth, gingival recession, gingivitis, malocclusion, missing teeth, and persistent deciduous teeth could be identified by analyzing the dental photographs in both dogs and cats. Enamel defects in dogs and tooth resorption in cats could be identified. Brachycephalic dogs had a significantly higher prevalence of malocclusion (OR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.36 to 2.75) and missing teeth (OR, 3.63; 95% CI, 2.71 to 4.91) compared to nonbrachycephalic dogs. Brachycephalic cats had a significantly higher prevalence of fractured teeth (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.24 to 3.04) and a lower prevalence of gingival recession (OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.15 to 0.55) compared to nonbrachycephalic cats. Calculus, persistent deciduous teeth, and possibly gingivitis could be identified in dogs and cats by analyzing labial and buccal photographs. The assessment of some dental abnormalities such as fractured teeth, missing teeth, and tooth resorption can be limited without a complete dental examination under anesthesia. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although the assessment of dental conditions may be underestimated, the data on the prevalence of the dental abnormalities evaluated through the photographs could be utilized for screening dental diseases.

“…Periodontal disease is considered to be the most commonly encountered disorder, among the total animals exposed to dental examination, this study showed that 40.6% (130 cases) was found to have periodontal diseases with different scores which agreed with, Neimiec [2]. In periodontal disease, gingivitis and periodontitis are two disorders that are identified, which agrees with our results [17,27]. Although it is understood that periodontitis does not usually develop from gingivitis, the risk of getting the condition rises with age and this agrees with our study, results of creamer v test indicated a significant (P <0.001) and strong association (value of 0.490, df = 2 ) of age and periodontal disease occurrence .…”

“…Analysis of this component revealed no statistical significance between periodontal disease and sex among the total affected animals, but the proportion of affected females was higher (47.3%, 52/110 affected cases) than affected males (37.14%, 78/210 affected cases) as found by Whyte et al [17].…”

The present study was conducted on 320 pet animals including 100 dogs, and 220 cats admitted to the clinic of the Department of Surgery, Anesthesiology and Radiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Zagazig University. A thorough oral and dental examination was performed for all animals. Radiographic imaging was conducted on animals that showed clinically progressive periodontitis and bony changes. Animals were classified into five scores according to their clinical dental examination and pocket depth. Animals with a score of 0, had healthy gingival tissue with normal pocket depth, a score (1) of those managed by dental scaling, and scores (2 and 3) of those treated by dental scaling and then non-surgical debridement. Open flap surgery was performed for more advanced cases; scores (4 and 5). Data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square and cramers v tests to investigate the relationship between age, diet, and sex to periodontal affection. Among the total number of admitted animals (N=320), 40.6 % (130 cases) showed periodontal diseases, 8.8% (28 cases) dogs and 31.9% (102 cases) cats. Affected males (24.4%) were higher than females (16.3%). Among the 130 animals with periodontal diseases, 142 affections were recorded. Age and diet showed high statistical significance (P<0.001). Sex showed to be statistically insignificant, (P>0.05). The cramers v test results for age and periodontal disease association showed a value of (0.490) and strong association between age and periodontal diseases.

“…Tooth resorption (TR) is the most common dental disorder among domesticated cats, with reported apparent prevalences (APs) ranging from about 25% to 75%, dependent on the population studied and diagnostic method used (Girard et al ., 2008; Heney et al ., 2019; Ingham et al ., 2001; Lommer & Verstraete, 2000; Pettersson & Mannerfelt, 2003; Reiter & Mendoza, 2002; Whyte et al ., 2020, 2022).…”

“…Although that specific claim has failed to be supported by further research (Girard et al ., 2010; Zhang et al ., 2006), the question of potential environmental risk factors remains. This makes the TR prevalence among unowned unsocialised cats interesting, presuming that they have not been fed a commercial diet, in contrast to domesticated/client‐owned cats which makes up a majority of the data on the subject (Girard et al ., 2008; Heney et al ., 2019; Ingham et al ., 2001; Lommer & Verstraete, 2000; Pettersson & Mannerfelt, 2003; Whyte et al ., 2020, 2022), with the exception of one study of feral cats on Marion Island (Verstraete et al ., 1996).…”

ObjectivesTo estimate the relative diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of oral clinical examination, full‐mouth dental radiography, and cone‐beam CT for the detection of tooth resorption in cats, and to estimate the prevalence of tooth resorption in unowned, unsocialised cats in Denmark.Materials and MethodsCadavers of 144 adult cats underwent an oral examination, full‐mouth dental radiography, and cone‐beam CT. Sensitivity and specificity of the three tests, along with the true prevalence, overall and stratified by sex and tooth location, were estimated using latent class methods.ResultsWe found cone‐beam CT to be the superior image modality, with a sensitivity of 99.5% and a specificity of 99.8%. Dental radiography had a sensitivity of 78.9% and a specificity of 100%, and oral clinical examination had a sensitivity of only 36.0% and specificity of 99.9%. We estimated the prevalence of tooth resorption among unowned unsocialised cats in Denmark to be 40% of adult individuals, and 6.1% of teeth.Clinical SignificanceWhen dealing with tooth resorption, cone‐beam CT can help the operator to find and treat affected teeth that could otherwise go undiagnosed. The prevalence of tooth resorption among unowned, unsocialised cats in Denmark does not appear to differ from other populations of cats.
