Sahipli Köpeklerde Dens İnvajinatus Görülme Sıklığı: Bir Retrospektif Çalışma

Abstract Objectives: The oral cavity is considered a gateway to the body because dental disease may result in many systemic conditions. Dogs and cats are sporadically affected by developmental dental anomalies and dens invaginatus is one such anomaly. Dens invaginatus predisposes the affected tooth to caries and endodontic infection. The purpose of the this study was twofold: (a) to determine the number of missing teeth and (b) to detect the prevalence of dens invaginatus in dogs and to discuss its clinical importance Methods: In this retrospective study, we investigated the prevalence of dens invaginatus. All of the existing maxillary and mandibular teeth were examined clinically and radiographically in order to determine the number of missing teeth and the presence of dens invaginatus. Results: Of the 188 mandibular first molar teeth examined three (1.6%) of them were identified to have dens invaginatus. Conclusion: Even if the anomalous teeth may not seem to cause any pathology at the time they are first discovered, they need to be followed up periodically for any developing pathology as early intervention will prevent occurrence of severe complications. Full-mouth intraoral radiography has a tremendous role in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with anomalous teeth. ÖZET Amaç: Diş hastalıkları birçok sistemik hastalıkla bağlantılı olduğundan ağız boşluğu vücuda açılan bir kapı olarak kabul edilir. Gelişimsel diş anomalileri kediler ve köpekleri sıklıkla etkilemektedir, dens invaginatus da bu anomalilerden biridir. Dens invaginatus, etkilenen dişi çürük ve endodontik enfeksiyona yatkın hale getirir. Bu çalışmanın amacı iki yönlüydü: (a) köpeklerde diş eksikliklerini belirlemek ve (b) dens invaginatus prevalansını saptamak ve klinik önemini tartışmak. Metod: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, köpeklerde dens invaginatus prevalansı araştırıldı. Eksik diş sayısı ve dens invaginatus varlığının tespiti için mevcut maksiller ve mandibular dişlerin tamamı klinik ve radyografik olarak incelendi. Bulgular: İncelenen 188 mandibular birinci molar dişten üçünde (%1.6) dens invaginatus varlığı tespit edildi. Sonuç: Anomalili dişler ilk keşfedildikleri anda herhangi bir patolojiye neden oluyor gibi görünmese bile, erken müdahale ciddi komplikasyonların oluşumunu önleyeceği için gelişen herhangi bir patolojiye karşı periyodik olarak takip edilmeleri gerekir. Bu amaçla full mouth ağız içi radyografları, anomalili dişleri olan köpeklerin tanı ve takibinde büyük bir role sahiptir.
