Abstract
Periodontal status of 37dogs (Griffon22, German shepherd 6, Pekingese 6, Mongrel 2, Irish Setter one) with non-teeth health problems was assessed. Periodontal assessment was determined by using the parameters of pocket depth, gingivitis , plaque and calculus accumulation and alveolar bone loss on radiographs. The demonstrated teeth lesions were ranged from gingivitis to destructive periodontitis. The maxillary molars and the mandibular premolars were highly affected. Treatment by supra/sub gingival scaling, root planing and curettage combined with maintenance of daily oral hygiene proved very effective for procuring marked resolution of gingivitis and regression of pocket depth in mild cases and useful to lessen and retard the complication in advanced cases.
