Abstract

Periodontitis ili periodontalna bolest jedna je od najčešćih bolesti u pasa. Definira se kao upalna reakcija na zubni plak, a rezultira progresivnim povlačenjem gingive te razaranjem periodontalnog ligamenta i alveolarne kosti. Bolest započinje gingivitisom te je u tom stadiju je reverzibilna, ali ukoliko se ne liječi prelazi u svoj ireverzibilni stadij – periodontitis.
Ovo retrospektivno istraživanje obuhvatilo je anamnestičke te podatke kliničkog pregleda i liječenja 65 pasa koji su dovedeni na stomatološki zahvat.
Cilj istraživanja bio je prikazati koliko pasa, iz promatrane skupine, zahtjeva kirurško liječenje periodontitisa u vidu otvorenih i zatvorenih metoda ekstrakcije. Povezanost stupnja periodontitisa s brojem ekstrakcija prikazana je kroz korelaciju mjerenih parametara (npr. veličina, spol, dob pasa) s brojem potrebnih ekstrakcija zuba.
Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su povezanost između gubitka alveolarnog koštanog tkiva i broja ekstrakcija. Životinje koje su imale vidljiv horizontalni ili vertikalni gubitak alveolarnog koštanog tkiva zahtijevale su veći broj ekstrakcija zuba. Psi manjih pasmina imali su manju mogućnost ekstrakcije samo jednog zuba u odnosu na srednje i velike pasmine. Također uočena je povezanost broja furkacija s brojem potrebnih ekstrakcija.
Progresijom bolesti i većim brojem izraženih simptoma, životinje zahtijevaju veći opseg liječenja te više ekstrakcija zuba. Također broj potrebnih ekstrakcija veći je kod životinja manjih pasmina. Naglasak je na prevenciji bolesti te na edukaciji i osvještavanju vlasnika o provođenju redovnih stomatoloških kontrola i održavanja higijene usne šupljine.

Abstract (english)

Periodontitis or periodontal disease is the one of the most common disease in dogs. The disease is defined as a result of inflammatory reaction to dental plaque, resulting in progressive gingival withdrawal, destruction of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. The disease begins with gingivitis, which is reversible, and if it is not cured it progresses to periodontitis, which is irreversible. This retrospective study included 65 dogs that were admitted for dental treatment. The aim of this study was to show how many dogs, from the observed group, required surgical treatment of periodontitis and to what extent. The correlation of the stage of periodontitis with the number of extractions is shown by correlating measured parameters (e.g. size, gender, age of dog) with the number of necessary tooth extractions. The results of the study showed correlation between loss of the alveolar bone tissue and the number of extractions. Animals with visible horizontal or vertical loss of alveolar bone tissue required a greater number of tooth extractions. When compared to medium and large breeds, smaller breeds of dog had a lower probability of extraction of only one tooth. With the progression of the disease and the greater number of symptoms, animals required more intense treatment in the form of more extraction. It is also concluded that the number of extractions required is higher in smaller dog breeds. The emphasis is on prevention and on educating and informing the owners about the implementation of regular dental control and maintenance of oral cavity hygiene.
