Resumo
Periodontal disease is characterized by inflammation and destruction of
periodontal structures. It is a disease that most commonly affects dogs, its agent is
the accumulated plaque on surface. The aim of this study was to evaluate the
influence of mixed and dry homemade diets, age and body score, the severity of
periodontal disease in 73 dogs. We performed nutritional assessment, oral cavity
clinical examination and laboratory tests, as well as a survey, in which the owners
were interviewed and filled out a questionnaire on the dietary habits of their
animals. The severity of periodontal disease increased with ageing of the animal.
Body condition score was negatively correlated with the severity of disease, thus
animals with more severe periodontal disease had lower scores. The type of food
given to the dogs showed no correlation with the severity of periodontal disease.
