“…Based on the data of these studies and with the increased sophistication and availability of suitable dental radiographic equipment in veterinary dentistry, the question arises whether the current standard of care should be upgraded to include full-mouth dental radiography when an animal is first referred for dental treatment. [12][13][14] The implementation of full-mouth dental radiographs in veterinary practice is recommended with barriers that may include labor intensive chairside developing of standard film, increased anesthesia time for re-takes, and the financial impact for owners. However, it cannot be argued that this diagnostic modality should be the standard of care for dental patients, with the diagnostic advantages full-mouth dental radiographs made known to the client.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in imaging dogs and cats for diagnostic dental veterinary applications. CBCT scans of heads of six dogs and two cats were made. Dental panoramic and multi-planar reformatted (MPR) para-sagittal reconstructions were created using specialized software. Image quality and visibility of anatomical landmarks were subjectively assessed by two observers. Good image quality was obtained for the MPR para-sagittal reconstructions through multiple teeth. The image quality of the panoramic reconstructions of dogs was moderate while the panoramic reconstructions of cats were poor since the images were associated with an increased noise level. Segmental panoramic reconstructions of the mouth seem to be useful for studying the dental anatomy especially in dogs. The results of this study using human dental CBCT technology demonstrate the potential of this scanning technology in veterinary medicine. Unfortunately, the moderate image quality obtained with the CBCT technique reported here seems to be inferior to the diagnostic image quality obtained from 2-dimensional dental radiographs. Further research is required to optimize scanning and reconstruction protocols for veterinary applications.

“…All gingival cleft lesions (100%) showed radiographic evidence of buccal bone loss in the region of the mesial root of the associated tooth, with triangulation of the periodontal ligament space. 17 Clinically, all teeth with gingival cleft lesions exhibited gingival recession to varying degrees. 15.4% of proliferative lesions were associated with radiographic changes.…”

Caudal malocclusions in cats may result in a variety of traumatic lesions affecting the soft tissues of the ipsilateral mandible such as fovea, gingival cleft, and proliferative lesions. Fifty-one cats diagnosed with a traumatic caudal malocclusion were compared with a control hospital population and evaluated for prevalence with respect to breed and sex. Twenty-two cats that were treated had radiographic, clinical findings, and the outcome of treatment (extraction or odontoplasty) recorded. Maine Coon, Persian, and male neutered cats were overrepresented while Domestic Shorthairs were underrepresented within the study population. Radiographically, 50% of the fovea lesions had an area of decreased bone density in the region of the lesion and none of these had evidence of periodontal disease. All gingival cleft lesions had radiographic changes consistent with periodontal disease. 15.4% of proliferative lesions presented with radiographic changes, with only half of those presenting with both radiographic and clinical evidence of periodontal disease. Eleven cats were treated by odontoplasty and eleven by extraction. One cat treated by odontoplasty developed new lesions caudally, and another had persistence of the initial lesions. Two cats in the extraction group developed new lesions rostral to the extracted teeth. In most instances, odontoplasty or extraction resulted in successful soft tissue lesion resolution. In rare cases, additional treatment was necessary due to either persistence or development of new lesions.

“…(Figure 1) Firstly, according to tooth size and position, three groups of teeth were formed. The first group included lower incisors, the second group consisted of lower canines, and the third group comprised lower premolars and molars (6). However, there is no caries found on incisors, canines and premolars.…”

“…Consequently, veterinarians' knowledge regarding complex diagnostic imaging methods and treatments, and the importance of orofacial health for domestic animals has increased progressively (12). In consideration of several pathological conditions, radiographic imaging of domestic animal teeth plays a critical role in clinical diagnosis (6). Radiological examination in veterinary dentistry is necessary for certain conditions, such as; caries diagnosis, periodontal assessment, endodontics, restorative procedures and maxillofacial surgery etc.…”

“…A full-mouth examination is regarded as a series of radiographs describing not only existing teeth but also the toothless segment of the jaw (15). Pathologic radiographic changes are often challenging to diagnose, and for this reason, clarity and detail of radiographic images are important (6). Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) which offered high resolution three dimensional images of dentomaxillofacial structures with relatively lower radiation doses and costs than medical computed tomography was introduced in 1999 (14).…”

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of panoramic, periapical and two different Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) devices in the detection of dental caries of dog teeth ex vivo. A total of 880 teeth were investigated, 33 of which were with caries, whereas; 33 healthy teeth were the controls. Periapical, panoramic and CBCT scans were made for the assessment of the teeth. All images were evaluated separately by two observers experienced in image interpretation. The presence or absence of occlusal caries was scored using a 5-point scale. Kappa values were calculated to assess intra and interobserver agreement. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to compare the effectiveness of different imaging methods in the detection of dental caries. For both observers, the order of success of the image sets in the estimation of the caries tooth was CBCT Morita, CBCT Iluma, periapical and panoramic radiograph (Area Under Curve (AUC): 0.929, 0.882, 0.861, and 0.704 for observer 1, AUC: 0.927, 0.896, 0.875, and 0.693 for observer 2, respectively). CBCT was found to be the best imaging method for the ex vivo detection of caries in dog teeth. In addition, panoramic images performed worse than all other modalities.
