“…Cementum formation beyond physiologic deposition is called hypercementosis and can commonly be observed in teeth of cats with FORL [12]. In one study, hypercementosis was demonstrated in all investigated feline teeth [14]. Excessive amounts of cellular cementum are deposited particularly at apical and midroot surfaces, sometimes causing bulbous root apices (Fig.…”

“…Spontaneously repaired defects of cementum and superficial dentin are called surface resorptions, in which the anatomic contour of the root surface is restored [17]. Most clinically evident FORL appear histologically to be in resorptive and reparative phases simultaneously [14]. Although attempts at repair can be noted by production of bone, cellular cementum, and bonecementum [12][13][14]19,20,23], tooth resorption in cats is usually progressive Fig.…”

Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORL) were first recognized and histologically differentiated from caries in the 1920s [1,2]. Some anecdotal reports describing caries-like lesions at the cervical region of feline teeth followed in the 1950s and 1960s, until two microscopic studies in the 1970s again revealed that FORL were not caries but a type of tooth resorption [3,4]. A recent study showed that cats with FORL have a significantly lower urine specific gravity and significantly higher serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) compared with cats without FORL [5], indicating that multiple tooth resorption in domestic cats could be the manifestation of some systemic insult rather than a local cause. In this article, the histologic and radiographic appearance of FORL and certain other peculiarities of feline teeth are reviewed. An attempt is then made to compare these findings with changes of the periodontium induced by administration of excess vitamin D or vitamin D metabolites in experimental animals.

Their precursors derive from hematopoietic stem cells of bone marrow or spleen and migrate from blood vessels of the alveolar bone or periodontal ligament toward the external root

“…The nature of periodontal disease progression has been widely studied in horses, donkeys, cattle, dogs and cats, with artificial studies leading to further understanding the intricate workings of mobility, recession and bone resorption (Ericsson and Lindhe, 1982, Hamp et al, 1984, Lindhe et al, 1975, Lindhe and Svanberg, 1974, Sorensen et al, 1980, Clarke and Cameron, 1998, Dobereiner et al, 2000, du Toit and Dixon, 2011, Mallonee et al, 1988, Reichart et al, 1984, Dixon et al, 2000b.…”

Oral health in South East Queensland Koalas: Prevalence of periodontal disease and other pathologies

Pettett¹

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...

“…La enfermedad periodontal es la afección oral más común en el perro adulto (Reichart et al, 1984;Colmery y Frost, 1986), y es causada por la acumulación de placa dental bacteriana en las superficies dentales, la cual induce una respuesta inflamatoria que desarrolla la gingivitis como primera etapa (Genco, 1984), y continúa hasta establecerse la periodontitis, donde, además de la gingivitis, hay una pérdida del tejido de soporte (ligamento periodontal y proceso alveolar) (Colmery y Frost, 1986). Se tiene evidencia que la salud sistémica de los perros se ve afectada con enfermedad periodontal, incluyendo afecciones renales y hepáticas (De Bowes, 2002), así como alteraciones cardiovasculares (Pavlica et al, 1998).…”
