  • Title: Periodontal disease. Therapy and prevention.
    Author: Hawkins BJ.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 1986 Sep; 16(5):835-49. PubMed ID: 3532504.
    Abstract:
    Success in veterinary dentistry lies in good home care and regular, thorough dental prophylaxis. The removal of supragingival and subgingival calculus must be accomplished before periodontal disease can be controlled. When gingival sulcus depths exceed 4 or 5 mm, the gingivae must be excised or reflected to allow proper treatment of the pocket area. Antibiotic therapy should be instituted in the extensively involved veterinary dental patient.
