| Resumo: | Oral disorders represent a common reason for veterinary consultations worldwide among felines. However, epidemiological studies in feline denstry are notably lacking in internaonal literature. Thus, this study aims to establish a casuistry of oral disorders in felines admied to the Denstry Service of the Veterinary Hospital Centre (DSVHC) Veterinary School in Uruguay. A retrospecve analysis of clinical records from the dental clinic at the DSVHC between 2014 and July 2019 was conducted. This study evaluated the number of felines, age, sex, reason for consultaon, diagnosis, and the associaon between primary pathologies and age/sex variables. Forty-six feline dental consultaons were documented, including 28 male and 18 female felines. The most common reasons for consultaon were halitosis, pain, and salivaon. The most prevalent oral disorders among felines included feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) at 69.6%, periodontal disease (PD) at 45.7%, and feline odontoclasc resorpve lesions (FORL) at 23.9%. Moreover, 39.1% exhibited a combinaon of FCGS and PD, 19.6% FCGS and FORL, and 13% simultaneous FCGS, PD, and FORL. The mean ages for FCGS, PD, and FORL were 9.1± 3.3, 10.1 ± 3.6, and 10 ± 3.1 years, respecvely. Other diagnoses included oral neoplasms, malocclusions, osteomyelis, alveolar osteitis, and chronic renal insufficiency. In conclusion, this study sheds light on the most prevalent oral disorders in feline dental practice and their common associaons, along with identifying the age groups in which they are most prevalent. |
