“…In captive Amur tigers, the supplementation ofa frozen meat-based diet with beef bones twice a week reduced dental plaque and calculus accumulation and improved gingival health, but bones once weekly appeared less beneficial (Haberstroh et a1 1984). A short-term (two weeks) cross-over study with domestic cats showed plaque accumulation was more extensive with a sofi canned diet that when hard dry food was offered (Boyce 1992).…”

A review of relevant literature was undertaken because of concerns about a possible relationship between pet foods, development of periodontal disease, and secondary adverse effects on general health. It was concluded that, while changes in feeding methods in recent decades have arguably improved pet health by reducing or preventing diseases associated with nutritional deficiencies and excesses, periodontal disease remains a serious, diet-related problem. There is reasonable evidence that soft diets are associated with increased frequency and severity of periodontal disease, and that harder foods requiring vigorous prehension and mastication are preferable for dogs and cats. While it is plausible that periodontal disease could cause diseases in other organs and tissues, the evidence for this is limited at present. Further research is needed to better define the relationship between diet types and oral health. In the meantime, veterinarians and pet owners should pay attention to the physical qualities (textures, abrasiveness, 'chewiness') of foods they provide for dogs and cats, as well as to their nutrient content, and should consider additional methods to control plaque and prevent periodontal disease where necessary.

“…A previous study on cats claimed to have demonstrated that feline plaque accumulation peaks at 1-week after prophylaxis and that calculus peaks at 4-weeks after prophylaxis. 5 The current study did not perform an assessment at 7-days following dental prophylaxis but did perform an assessment at one month (28-days) and again approximately 1-month later. The results of the current field study do not support the claim of peak calculus deposition at one month.…”

“…Barrier technology in human oral care has proven effective in reducing plaque, calculus, and caries between regular dental examinations. [2][3][4][5] In both human and veterinary dentistry, daily teeth brushing is considered the gold standard for plaque control. However, in many cases daily tooth brushing in cats is not feasible because the patient is not compliant.…”

Efficacy of a Barrier Gel for Reducing the Development of Plaque, Calculus, and Gingivitis in Cats

This study was performed to assess the field efficacy of a professional and home-care barrier gel against the development of plaque, calculus, gingival bleeding, and gingivitis in client-owned cats over a 56-day period compared with negative controls. In a randomized, negative-controlled, outcome evaluator-blinded, client-owned animal clinical field study, 31 cats were evaluated to assess if the barrier gel dental product was effective in cats. Following an enrollment-qualification assessment and enrollment of each cat, all cats received a professional dental cleaning, including polishing and irrigation. Following cleaning, a post-cleaning assessment was performed by the evaluator. Then, using a pre-developed randomization schedule, cats were assigned to the treated or control group. The professional version of the barrier gel was applied to the treated group on day 0. The negative-control group patients did not receive any applications of the barrier gel following dental cleaning. Treated-group cats were brought back to the clinic for subsequent applications of the home-care version of the barrier gel, applied by a non-blinded trained assistant. The home-care version product applications began on day 14 and then were applied weekly (days, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and 56) through day 56. All cats enrolled in the study underwent full oral examinations and assessments by the blinded evaluator on or about their respective days 28 and 56. At these evaluations, the evaluator performed standardized assessments for plaque, calculus, gingivitis, and gingival bleeding. Numeric scores were assigned for each assessment using predetermined target teeth to ensure consistency. Using these assessment scores, statistical analyses were performed to determine the efficacies against plaque and calculus deposition; additionally, measurements of gingivitis and gingival bleeding were assessed. Change in plaque score from baseline, for all teeth assessed (all 4 canine teeth, and all 4 [corrected] premolar teeth), was significantly (P < 0.05) lower for treated cats than for control cats for both left side average and right side average on day 56. No statistical differences were seen for calculus, gingivitis, or gingival bleeding in this study. In cats with a history of developing plaque, application of the barrier gel dental product following dental cleaning reduced plaque deposition (P < 0.05) compared with control cats.

“…Canine loss is correlated increasing age in cats and is also more prevalent in feral cat populations relative to domestic cats and may not have been solely due to periodontal disease, as TR has multiple aetiologies, and can also be caused by disturbances in vitamin D and calcium metabolism, although this is unlikely given this individuals diet 69,70 . The presence of intact calculus suggests that a soft sticky food was a component of the cat's diet in the weeks prior to death; research investigating the prevalence indicates that calculus deposition peaks at four weeks, after which calculus presence decreases 71 .…”

The earliest domestic cat on the Silk Road

We present the earliest evidence for domestic cat (Felis catus L., 1758) from Kazakhstan, found as a well preserved skeleton with extensive osteological pathologies dating to 775–940 cal CE from the early medieval city of Dzhankent, Kazakhstan. This urban settlement was located on the intersection of the northern Silk Road route which linked the cities of Khorezm in the south to the trading settlements in the Volga region to the north and was known in the tenth century CE as the capital of the nomad Oghuz. The presence of this domestic cat, presented here as an osteobiography using a combination of zooarchaeological, genetic, and isotopic data, provides proxy evidence for a fundamental shift in the nature of human-animal relationships within a previously pastoral region. This illustrates the broader social, cultural, and economic changes occurring within the context of rapid urbanisation during the early medieval period along the Silk Road.
