In this study, the presence of putative periodontal organisms, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Tannerella forsythensis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Dialister pneumosintes, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Campylobacter rectus, Eikenella corrodens and Treponema denticola were examined from subgingival samples of 40 dogs of different breeds with (25) and without (15) periodontitis, by using the PCR method. The PCR products of each species showed specific amplicons. Of the 25 dogs with periodontitis, P. gingivalis was detected in 16 (64%) samples, C. rectus in 9 (36%), A. actinomycetemcomitans in 6 (24%), P. intermedia in 5 (20%), T. forsythensis in 5 (20%), F. nucleatum in 4 (16%) and E. corrodens in 3 (12%). T. denticola and D. pneumosintes were not detected in clinical samples from dogs with periodontitis. Moreover, P. gingivalis was detected only in one (6.66%) crossbred dog without periodontitis. Our results show that these microorganisms are present in periodontal microbiota of dogs with periodontitits, and it is important to evaluate the role of these putative periodontal microorganisms play in the periodontitis in household pets particularly, dogs in ecologic and therapeutic terms, since these animals might acquire these periodontopahogens from their respective owners.

“…Köpeklerde beslenme sonrası ağız bakımıyla ilgili bazı uygulamaların ihmal edilmesi hastalığın hazırlayıcı faktörlerindendir. Gingivitis diş plağı oluşumu ve bölgede bakteri üremesi ile başlar, periodontitise ve sistemik yangı-sal organ bozukluklarına yol açar [1][2][3][4] . Gingivitisli hastalarda ağzın fiziksel muayenesinde fark edilebilecek ilk bulgular diş plaklarının oluşumu ve hafif diş eti yangısına özgü belirtilerdir.…”

ÖzetBu çalışmada, CRP (C reaktif protein), albumin ve total protein değerleri ve CBC (tam kan sayımı) düzeyleri kullanılarak, hastanın sistemik inflamatuar durumunun değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Bu çalışmada, gingivitisli 10 ve sağlıklı 10 olmak üzere toplam 20 köpek kullanıldı. Gingivitis tanısı, klinik bulgulara (diş plakları, diş etinde kızarıklık ve ödem) dayalı olarak konuldu. Anamnezde, köpeklerde beslenme sonrası ağız bakımı (su içirme, diş fırçalama veya diş sağlığı gıdası veya kemirme malzemesi verme) yapılıp yapılmadığı ve hastaların ağızla ilgili şikayetlerinin bulunup bulunmadığı (çiğneme güçlüğü, aşırı salya akışı, ağız kokusu) soruldu. Fiziksel muayenede beden sıcaklığı, nabız ve solunum sayıları saptandı. Submandibular lenf yumrusu muayene edildi. Hasta ve sağlıklı her köpekten antikoagulansız tüplere 5'er mL kan ve EDTA'lı tüplere 2'şer mL kan alındı. Hastalardaki CRP, albumin, total protein değerleri ve CBC sağlıklı olgularla karşılaştırılarak değerlendirildi. Hastalarda klinik muayene bulgularına göre hafif-orta derecede gingivitis tanısı konuldu. Hastalarda her yemek sonrası ağız bakımı ile ilgili hiçbir özel uygulamanın yapılmadığı, hastalarda ağız kokusunun bulunduğu ve kuru gıdaları çiğnemede güçlük çektikleri öğrenildi. Yapılan fiziksel muayenede; hastaların tamamında diş plağı, diş eti kızarıklığı ve ödem ile ağız kokusu belirlendi. Beden sıcaklığı, solunum ve nabız sayıları normal sınırlardaydı. Submandibular lenf yumruları büyümemişti. Sağlıklı köpeklerde diş eti ile ilgili bir sorun bulunmamaktaydı. Hafif-orta derecede gingivitisli ve submandibular lenf yumrusu büyümemiş köpeklerde, CRP, albumin, total protein ve CBC de istatistiksel olarak önemli değişiklikler bulunmadı. Anahtar sözcükler: Albumin, CBC, CRP, Gingivitis, Köpek, Total protein Evaluation of Some Systemic Inflammatory Parameters in Dogs with Gingivitis AbstractIn this study, it is aimed to evaluate the patient's systemic inflammatory condition, by estimating CRP, albumin, total protein values and CBC. These results were compared with inflammatory condition of the gums. In this study, a total of 20 dogs, including 10 dogs with gingivitis, and 10 healthy dogs, were used. Diagnosis was established based on the clinical findings (dental plaque, redness and edema in the gum). In history, the owners was asked if any oral care application was performed after each meal (drinking water, brushing dog's teeth, eating dental care food or giving chewing material), and if there is any mouth-related complaints (chewing difficulty, excessive saliva flow and halitosis). On physical examination; body temperature, pulse, and respiration rates were detected, submandibular lymph node was examined. From each patient and healthy dog, 5 mL blood to the tubes without coagulant, and 2 mL blood to the tubes with EDTA were taken. CRP, albumin and total protein values, and CBC were evaluated by comparing with those in healthy ones. Based on the clinical findings, mild-to-moderate gingivitis was diagnosed in patients. It was learned that patients have...

“…The majority of studies examining the relationship between oral infections and systemic diseases are concerned with periodontal diseases. A large number of studies suggest that oral infections, especially periodontitis, are a potential contributing factor to a variety of clinically important systemic diseases (Watson 1994). Abnormalities in the immune system alter a patient's response and lead to opportunistic infections, which contribute to gingivostomatitis (Tenorio et al 1991).…”

“…Abnormalities in the immune system alter a patient's response and lead to opportunistic infections, which contribute to gingivostomatitis (Tenorio et al 1991). Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a disease commonly seen in adult cats, and it is characterised by persistent chronic inflammation involving the mucogingival tissues (Li et al 2000;Wilson 2005 (Watson 1994). An accurate and rapid diagnosis depends on a complete clinical history and an oral and physical examination (Arzi et al 2008).…”

Oral disorders of small animals constitute a problem for veterinarians. Chronic oral infections are commonly seen in domestic cats. The objectives of this study were to characterise feline oral lesions, common feline dental problems, and especially the association of oral disease and systemic disease in cats. Two hundred and twenty cats referred over a period of 33 months to the Internal Medicine Department of our University with signs of oral disorders were included in this prospective study and were examined for the occurrence of the most commonly seen diseases. Infectious diseases which frequently cause ulcers and/or erosions within the mouth and on the tongue, constituted a significant proportion of the cases identified in this study. Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) infection was diagnosed in 36 cats (16%), Feline Calicivirus (FCV) in 17 cats (8%) and 16 cats (7%) had three viral infections (FCoV + Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) + Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV)) at the same time. We conclude that oral disorders may be a sign of underlying systemic diseases in cats, especially in those diagnosed with feline viral infections. Other diagnosed diseases included immune-mediated disorders, eosinophilic granuloma complex, gastrointestinal system disorders, nutritional disorders, diabetes mellitus, hepatic disorders and chronic renal failure. Therefore, the first step in preventing oral disease in animals must be routine physical examination which includes a comprehensive oral exam.
