Diş Rezorpsiyonlu Kedilerde Klinik, Radyolojik ve Hematolojik Değerlendirme

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı kedilerde yaygın bir diş hastalığı olan diş rezorpsiyonunu (TR) araştırmaktır. Selçuk Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Hayvan Hastanesi'ne ağız sağlığı sorunları veya kastrasyon nedeniyle başvuran 35 kedi üzerinde yürütülen çalışmada, TR'nin yaygınlığı, etkilenen dişlerin dağılımı ve rezorpsiyon tipleri ile evreleri arasındaki ilişki değerlendirildi. Klinik ve radyografik muayeneler yapıldı ve kan parametreleri analiz edildi. Bulgular TR prevalansının yaşla birlikte arttığını ve en yaygın olarak mandibular üçüncü premolar ve birinci molar dişlerde görüldüğünü göstermiştir. Kan analizleri, birçok vakada referans aralıkların dışında sodyum ve fosfor seviyeleri ortaya çıkarmış, bu da elektrolit ve metabolik dengesizlikleri düşündürmüştür. TR evreleri ve tipleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki gözlenmiştir; Tip 1 lezyonlar erken evrelerde baskınken, Tip 3 lezyonlar ileri evrelerde artmıştır. Sonuç olarak, TR sadece lokalize bir periodontal durum olmayıp sistemik etkileri de vardır. TR'nin erken teşhisi ve ilerlemesinin önlenmesi için multidisipliner bir yaklaşım önerilmektedir. Çevresel, genetik ve metabolik faktörlerin daha fazla araştırılması, bu hastalık için etkili yönetim stratejilerinin geliştirilmesine katkıda bulunabilir.

Clinical, Radiological and Hematological Evaluation in Cats with Tooth Resorption

Öz

This study aimed to investigate tooth resorption (TR), a common dental disease in cats. Conducted on 35 cats admitted to Selçuk University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Animal Hospital for oral health issues or castration, the study evaluated the prevalence of TR, the distribution of affected teeth, and the relationship between resorption types and stages. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed, and blood parameters were analyzed. The findings indicated that TR prevalence increases with age and is most commonly observed in mandibular third premolars and first molars. Blood analyses revealed sodium and phosphorus levels outside the reference ranges in many cases, suggesting electrolyte and metabolic imbalances. A significant relationship was observed between TR stages and types; Type 1 lesions were predominant in early stages, while Type 3 lesions increased in advanced stages. In conclusion, TR is not solely a localized periodontal condition but also has systemic effects. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended for the early diagnosis and prevention of TR progression. Further investigation of environmental, genetic, and metabolic factors may contribute to the development of effective management strategies for this disease.
