Abstract:
Evidence of porcine oral pathology in client-owned domestic pigs has been reported in recent literature. The most common abnormalities are missing teeth and periodontal disease. This case series reviews the diagnosis and treatment of dental disease in 8 pet Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) over a 6-year period (2015-2021). Inclusion criteria included pigs over 1 year of age that had at least 2 sequential visits involving photographs, full-mouth intraoral radiographs, and dental charting. Eight pigs were identified for study inclusion. The study population included 4 castrated males, 3 spayed females, and 1 intact female. The 8 subjects had a total of 28 visits. Fifty-five intraoral dental extractions were performed and complete healing of 44 extraction sites was observed (11 sites were lost to follow up). Canine tooth reduction was performed on 52 tusks in 7 pigs with exposure of 1 pulp that was treated by partial pulpectomy and direct pulp capping. Restoration of carious lesions was performed on 4 teeth. The most commonly extracted teeth were the right and left maxillary first molars (10 of 47 teeth). Reasons for tooth extraction included: periodontal disease, complicated crown fracture, nonvital +/- periapical pathology, and persistent deciduous teeth. Additional treatments ranged from type 1 crown lengthening with restoration of carious lesions, tusk trimming, closed and open root planing, dental extractions, ultrasonic scaling, and polishing. This article stresses the importance of routine dental healthcare and early intervention for periodontal disease in pigs.
摘要:
在最近的文献中已经报道了客户拥有的家猪中的猪口腔病理学的证据。最常见的异常是牙齿缺失和牙周病。该病例系列回顾了6年(2015-2021年)期间8只宠物越南育猪(Susscrofadomesticus)的牙科疾病的诊断和治疗。纳入标准包括1岁以上的猪有至少2次连续访问,涉及照片,全口口腔内X光片,和牙科图表。鉴定了八只猪用于研究纳入。研究人群包括4名阉割的男性,3位女性,和1个完整的女性。8名受试者共有28次访问。进行了55次口内拔牙,观察到44个拔牙部位完全愈合(11个部位失去随访)。对7头猪的52头象牙进行了犬牙减牙,暴露于1根牙髓,并通过部分牙髓切除术和直接盖髓治疗。对4颗牙齿进行龋齿病变的修复。最常见的拔牙是左右上颌第一磨牙(47颗牙齿中的10颗)。拔牙的原因包括:牙周病,复杂的冠骨折,非重要+/-根尖周病理学,和持久的乳牙。其他治疗方法包括1型牙冠延长和龋齿病变的恢复,象牙修剪,封闭和开放的根部刨削,拔牙术,超声波缩放,和抛光。本文强调了常规牙科保健和早期干预猪牙周病的重要性。
