Abstract

---

The incidence of orodental diseases became more prevalent during recent years and widely distributed between dogs. From the economical point of view, the orodental affections in dogs make their owners spend much more money in fixing problems in the pet’s mouth than they do preventing them. In the present work, the incidence of orodental affections in a total of 693 cases of dogs was studied. A total of 504 cases were affected which represented (78.8%) the total examined number. Diseases related to the soft tissues were recorded in 28 cases which represented 5.5% from the total affected cases. The recorded affections were oro-nasal fistula (10.7%), gingivostomatitis (14.2%), wounds (17.8%), ulcers (14.2%), foreign bodies (10.7%), oral tumors (17.8%), epulis (7.1%), and salivary mucoceles (7.1%). All cases were subjected to full investigations including case history and clinical signs and for confirmation some cases underwent radiographic and histopathological examination.
