Abstract

Statistical studies on the incidence of dental diseases in dogs were performed during the period 1997-1998. The most common nosological entities in that connection were established, as well as their relationship between their prevalence and the physiological condition of patients, their breed and age. It was observed that dental diseases represented 6% of all surgical diseases in dogs treated at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria. Cremor dentis (21.5%); gingivitis (17.1%) and paradontopathiae (13.3%) were most often encountered. The highest percentage of dogs with dental problems was in the 4-6-year-old group. A similar prevalence was also observed in small breeds of dog.
