Abstract
In the present study, total number of (1081) animals including both
dogs (639) and cats (442) were presented to different locations (the Surgery
Clinic of the faculty of veterinary medicine, Cairo University; The Military
Veterinary Hospital and some private clinics in Cairo). The oral cavity
includes number of diseases that classified to congenital and acquired
affections. Persistent deciduous teeth showed the highest incidence out of the
recorded congenital affections, which represented 45.1% and 37% from
congenital affections of dogs and cats respectively. Acquired affections
classified into four groups according to the affected tissue of the oral cavity.
The groups were diseases related to the gingiva , diseases related to dental
hard tissue , soft tissues diseases of the oral cavity and maxilla and mandible
disorders in percent of (56.1%),(18.6%),(9.9%) and (1.2%) respectively .
Periodontal diseases were the most common recorded affection, which
represented 24.6% in dogs, and 34.4% in cats out of total affected animals.
Attrition and abrasion showed the highest incidence in dogs represented 28%
out of dental hard tissue affected dogs. Teeth discoloring showed the highest
incidence in cats represented 29.5% out of dental hard tissue affected cats
respectively. Acquired Cleft palate and eosinophilic granuloma complex
showed the highest incidence in cats, represented 22.8% from the oral soft
tissue affected cats. The recoded diseases related to maxilla and mandible
disorders were fractures of maxilla, mandible and tempromandibler joint. The
obtained data from the comparison between extra-oral and intraoral
radiographic techniques revealed that in general extra oral films had
advantage of easily evaluation of the whole parts of the oral cavity by using
only from two to four films. They were easier in the processing, marking and
developing while in intraoral films we needed at least eight films for the
complete evaluation of the oral cavity. from the obtained results, dental
panorama was more useful than intraoral and extra-oral x-ray examinations of
the dental and periodontal affections of the mandibler
teeth.
