“…Chlorhexidine (CHX), a cationic biguanide, could damage the bacterial biofilm and have anti-viral and anti-fungal properties [ 11 ]. However, CHX has side effects when administered for a long time, including loss of taste, acceleration of the plaque’s calcification, enamel discoloration, and oral mucosal ulcers [ 11 , 12 ]. In dogs, xylitol-based drinking water was used for dental plaque reduction [ 13 , 14 ].…”

The pilot study aimed to investigate the effects of GAMS on oral microbiota in healthy dog subjects. Thirty-eight dogs were recruited and randomly allocated to the placebo (n = 19) and treatment groups (n = 19). The dogs were treated with mouth spray once daily for 42 days. The changes in the gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), and calculus index (CI) were measured at baseline (day 0) and end of the study (42nd day). The changes in the oral microbial composition of representative dogs (placebo, n = 7; and treatment, n = 7) were also evaluated at baseline and end of the study. Oral microbial composition was assessed by sequencing. The sequences were annotated using the QIIME 2.0TM. The GI, PI, and CI indexes were reduced after the GAMS usage. The abundance of the commensal bacterial phylum Actinobacteria and Chloroflexi, genera Frederiksenia, and Bergeyella was improved after six weeks of GAMS usage. GAMS reduced the pathogenic bacterial species, including Neisseria sp., Desulfobulbus sp., Capnocytophaga canis, and Corynebacterium mustelae. Moreover, some pathogenic bacterial abundances were increased at the end of the study. All the microbial variations were observed within the group. The inter-group analysis revealed that the changes were unrelated to GAMS usage. Further studies need to be carried out using more experimental subjects to confirm the effectiveness of GAMS. More metagenomic data are required to evidence the GMAS impact on the oral microbiome of healthy dogs.

“…Different small letters differ significantly among groups in each period. .... Periodontitis (PD) is one of the most common inflammatory oral diseases in companion animals, affecting utmost 80% of all breeds of animals (Booij-Vrieling et al, 2010;Pieri et al, 2012). Moreover, it is conferred to be one of the most prevalent clinical problems in domestic carnivores especially dogs (Kortegaard et al, 2008).…”

Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent inflammatory oral diseases in dog. Non-surgical managements are conventionally performed to obtain healthy oral status. With progressive periodontitis, advanced periodontal surgery and also dental extraction become warranted with major disadvantages of trauma, bleeding, prolonged anesthetic time and hospitalization, and wound healing impairment. Hence, use of platelet-rich fibrin has been studied and considered one of the novel approaches to augment in periodontitis management. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of autologous blood-derived platelet-rich fibrin in an aspect of periodontitis treatment in a canine models. In this study, the experiment was done at maxillary 4th premolar and mandibular 1st molar. Dogs with healthy oral status were served as a control (C group, n =5). Another 10 systemically healthy subjects presenting equally bilateral periodontitis were randomized into split mouth clinical design. Experimental groups included periodontitis group with conventional open-flap debridement (PD group, n = 20) and periodontitis group with conventional open-flap debridement and platelet-rich fibrin treatment (PD+ group, n = 20). Clinical parameters included plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), periodontal pocket depth (PPD), and mobility index (MI) were evaluated at baseline, 7, 14, 21, and 56 days post experiment (DPE). Intra-oral radiography was undergone to assess alveolar bone at baseline, 21 and 56 DPE. Histopathological analysis concerning inflammatory and fibrosis score was evaluated at baseline and 14 DPE. Cytokine expression analysis via anti-inflammatory (TGF-?1, PDGF-B, VEGF-A, TIMP-1, COL1A1, and COL3A1) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-? and IL-1?) were evaluated at baseline, 7 and 14 DPE. The results revealed that PD+ group presented significant improvement in GI (at 14 DPE), PPD (at 21 and 56 DPE), and inflammatory reaction score (at 14 DPE) compared with PD group. Also, significant up-regulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines (except for COL1A1) together with down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines were observed. In conclusion, platelet-rich fibrin might be an alternative novel approach for periodontitis treatment in dogs. (n represented surgical site)

Periodontal disease is one of the most common and prevalent oral diseases in dogs. With the increasing closeness between man and the animals of company, the care with the health and well-being of those animals also increase. Being the bacterial plaque the main cause of periodontal disease, oral care performed by dog owners are essential for the prevention and control of this disease. There are a lot of alternatives, developed exclusively for animal use, which assist in oral hygiene. There are data on the use of active natural products in the prevention of halitosis, dental plaque and calculus, in the form of antiseptic substances, but the volume of information is still scarce. Natural substances, used since immemorial times for treatment of diseases, have the potential to integrate oral care products, such as main or adjuvant active agent in the formulation of the most varied compounds. This is the result of desirable actions in oral and dental therapies, as anti-inflammatory, healing and antimicrobial. This article reviews the information available on the subject and seeks to indicate what is possible to do overcome the gap between research and application of these products on a day-to-day basis.
