“…The most common reasons for study exclusion were manuscripts focusing on species other than cats (i.e., humans) as well as articles discussing treatment of other feline diseases, such as feline immunodeficiency virus, and mentioning stomatitis as a clinical sign or sequela. After assessing the included 16 studies, 4 were assigned an EDG of I ( 12 , 28 , 36 , 37 ), 3 were assigned an EDG of II ( 10 , 11 , 38 ), 3 were assigned an EDG of III ( 39 – 41 ), 1 was assigned an EDG of IV ( 42 ), and 5 were assigned an EDG of V ( 43 – 47 ). Seven studies (43.8%) were prospective clinical trials, three studies were retrospective (18.7%), and six studies were case reports presenting the outcome of one or two cats (37.5%).…”

“…However, clinical appearance and clinical signs may be sufficient for diagnosis. Affected cats may suffer from moderate to severe oral pain, halitosis, ptyalism, decreased grooming, hyporexia, weight loss, irritability, withdrawn behavior, and/or decreased activity ( 11 , 12 ). Quality of life can be so severely affected that owners elect for humane euthanasia ( 3 , 10 , 13 ).…”

Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a disease characterized by protracted and potentially debilitating oral inflammation in cats, the etiology of which is currently unknown. The purpose of this review is to apply an evidence-based medicine approach to systematically review and critically evaluate the scientific literature reporting the outcome of medical and surgical management of FCGS. Those articles meeting inclusion criteria were reviewed and assigned an “Experimental Design Grade” (EDG) and an “Evidence Grade” (EG) in order to score relative strength of study design and produced data. Studies were evaluated and compared, especially highlighting the treatments, the outcomes, and the therapeutic success rates. This review found a lack of consistency between articles’ data, rendering direct comparison of results unreliable. The field of FCGS research, and ultimately patient care, would benefit from standardizing studies by adopting use of a consistent semi-quantitative scoring system and extending follow-up duration. Future researchers should commit to large prospective studies that compare existing treatments and demonstrate the promise of new treatments.

“…The mucosa of the oral cavity is always exposed to antigens (VEIR et al, 2002). (BELLEI et al, 2008;HOFMANN-APPOLLO et al, 2010;HUNG et al, 2014). Corticosteroids are widely used in the treatment of FCGS, but controversy exists related to their use.…”

Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is an oral inflammatory condition that frequently affects felines. Its etiology is not well defined, but several viral agents are thought to be involved. Several therapeutic protocols have been described, yet treatment response is often variable, and the therapeutic success is transient with an unpredictable duration. Therefore, the therapeutic strategy needs to be tailored for each patient. This work relates a case characterized by viral involvement in its etiopathogenesis providing an alternative to the most widely-used methods that so often frustrate both veterinary doctors and pet owners.

“…Os principais sinais clínicos da gengivite em gatos são inapetência, halitose, ptialismo, disfagia, sialorreia, dificuldade em higienizar-se, engolir e respirar, sangramento bucal, desidratação, perda de peso, dor e agressividade pelo desconforto gerado (BELLEI et al, 2008;LOMMER, 2013).…”

The oral affections in domestic cats are frequent causes of clinical care. These are multifactorial diseases, which etiopathogenesis has not been elucidated yet. However, believes that imbalanced oral microbiota and a immune response local results in the inflammatory process, which in a long term can cause various physical changes in the animal. The oral microbiota is composed of different bacterial genera, among these highlighting Staphylococcus spp. and the Pasteurella spp. The treatment of these affections is based on the use of antimicrobials and antiinflammatories, but there is a high failure rate. In addition, the choice of antimicrobials is mostly done in a empirical and indiscriminate way, these is a possibility of appearance of multiresistant bacteria. In this way, in the last years several efforts have been made to overcome the advent bacterial resistance and natural products have potential for this. Among there are the essential oils. Then, the present study aimed to isolate and identify strains of Staphylococcus spp. e Pasteurella spp. Of samples of oral cavity of healthy domestic cats and with gingivitis. Posteriorly, the isolates were submmited to the antimicrobial susceptibility test before the six essential oils (EOs): Citrus bergamia (bergamot), Anthemis nobile (roman chamomile), Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), Copaifera officinalis (Copaiba), Eugenia caryophyllus (clove) e Melaleuca alternifólia (tea tree or melaleuca). The results showed that the Staphylococcus spp. and the Pasteurella spp are presented as soon in the oral cavity of healthy cats, as in animals with gingivitis. The EOs with better antimicrobial effectiveness against of the most of the isolates were Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), Eugenia caryophyllus (cloves), Melaleuca alternifólia (tea tree or melaleuca) and Anthemis nobile (roman chamomile). The findings obtained in the present study were similar to the others investigations. Then, the EOs of Copaifera officinalis (Copaiba) and Citrus bergamia (bergamot) did not present any antimicrobial action. The discrepancies can be explained, mainly, by differences in the chemical compositions, concentration of chemical compounds, by synergism among them, by phytogeographic origen and conditions of culture of plant utilized to obtain of EOs.
