“…In dogs and cats when controlling for age the oral health index still increased in one study (Gawor et al, 2006). In the koala advanced tooth wear occurs in older animals, natural abrasion and attrition reduces the stability of the teeth which increases the risk of having bone loss (Lee et al, 2011).…”

The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is one of Australia's most highly specialised folivores with a diet exclusively of eucalyptus leaves to provide all nutritive needs. For this it is dependent on good dentition for optimal health and quality of life. The purpose of this study was to characterise and describe the level of oral health and disease in koalas and then create tools for ongoing analysis.The historical records over a 17-year period were noted for the koalas admitted to the Moggill Koala Hospital in South East Queensland. Further, in this study the conclusions were that oral health issues when they existed were only being identified as "low key" due to the lack of investigative tools being used during examinations. This provided the reasoning and impetus behind developing tools to determine the true extent of oral health conditions in the koala. A suitable assessment tool for diagnosing the oral health was designed based on the index scoring methodology and the layout of the Moggill Koala Hospital admission chart, a new oral health chart template was developed. The chart was based on examination of 30 "free-range koalas" and validation and quality assurance analysis of four examiners of varying qualifications. The chart was separated into three sections; containing general animal information such as sex, age, and current systemic health; the General Oral Cavity section and containing information on 12 koala-specific health questions and finally a section on the periodontal health. The charting data is multifunctional with analysis of individual koalas, (sex, group or age). The data from each section provided an index value that was compatible with values from other species clinical charting systems.Using the chart, populations of 200 "free-range" and 95 captive koalas (from three zoos) were examined. Three major indexes were developed during the chart development process and used the following equation; General Oral Cavity (GOCI) + Oral Health Index (OHI) = Final Oral Health Index (FOHI). Initially, the three major index values plus all additional information of each chart were analysed to show the current baseline values of oral health conditions in the koala. Any ii comparison based on singular or multiple animals would either show a decline, same rate or increase from the baseline. These baseline parameters could be compared against any other species that uses the same 0-3 index system.The proportion of koalas from the whole population with an orally related problem was 86%.The average FOHI for the koala as a species was 3.78 ± 3.19, median 3.00. This is the mild category and held 84.5% of all cases. The maximum scores for the groups showed Zoo 3 as having lower range (Zoo 1; 11.42 for a TWC 1 male, Zoo 2; 13.40, Zoo 3; 4.13 and "free-range"; 15.98). The third zoo was the only group to have also had significantly better oral health than "free-range" koalas.Captive koalas showed high scoring at young age (11.42), the "free-range" comparable age score was 3.84. At population level when controlli...

“…This has also been proven in domestic animals. Cats fed a soft diet had a higher oral health index compared to those fed a dry food diet (Gawor et al, 2006). Captive Cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) and Elephants (Loxodonta), captive diet has been associated with oral decline and subsequent decline in overall health (Bechert et al, 2002).…”

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...

“…Une étude nord-américaine portant sur 1350 chiens a montré que les chiens disposant d'os ou lamelles à mâcher présentent moins de tartre, moins de gingivite et moins d'alvéolyse que ceux n'en disposant peu ou pas (Harvey et al, 1996). Enfin, plus récemment, une large étude épidémiologique polonaise portant sur près de 30 000 chiens a montré que les chiens ayant une partie ou l'ensemble de leur alimentation sous forme de croquettes présentent moins de plaque dentaire/tartre et une maladie parodontale moins avancée chez les chiens nourris avec des aliments mous (Gawor et al, 2006). Il ressort de ces différentes études que les frottements masticatoires entre les surfaces dentaires et un substrat alimentaire relativement volumineux et fibreux contribuent à l'hygiène bucco-dentaire.…”

Les maladies parodontales, maladies naturelles induite par l’accumulation de plaque dentaire sur les dents, affectent tous les chiens au cours de leur vie à des degrés plus ou moins importants. La gravité est fonction de différents facteurs des risques généraux et locaux. Les principaux sont, d’une part, la taille de l’individu et, d’autre part, l’absence d’hygiène bucco-dentaire et d’activité masticatoire. Après avoir effectué un diagnostic parodontal clinique et radiographique, le traitement parodontal comprend le détartrage supra-gingival, le débridement sous gingival et le polissage dentaire. La réussite du traitement dépend de l’hygiène bucco-dentaire, indispensable pour éviter l’accumulation non contrôlée de la plaque dentaire. Les chiens de petite taille doivent particulièrement faire l’objet d’attention et d’une hygiène rigoureuse.
