Abstract

Over a period of 4-months, feeding small breed dogs with a regular dry diet supplemented with a daily oral hygiene chew resulted in a significant reduction in plaque deposition (17.3%) and calculus accumulation (45.8%) compared with dogs fed the dry diet alone. Daily feeding of a specifically designed oral hygiene chew that reduces plaque and calculus accumulation may play a role in the severity of canine periodontal disease.

摘要

在为期4个月的时间里，给小型犬喂食常规干粮并每日补充口腔卫生咀嚼物，与仅喂食干粮的犬相比，牙菌斑沉积显著减少（17.3%），牙结石积聚显著减少（45.8%）。每日喂食专门设计的可减少牙菌斑和牙结石积聚的口腔卫生咀嚼物，可能会对犬牙周病的严重程度产生影响。
