Periodontal disease is an oral disorder with high prevalence in cats from 2 years of age, resulting from an inflammatory response against bacterial plaque. Treatment depends on the stage of the disease and may include dental scaling, local application of perioceutics, tissue regeneration and/or even tooth extraction and periodontal surgery. As multimodal therapy is often required, new strategies have been developed to improve the therapeutic response in these patients. Adjuvant use of omega-3 fatty acids has been reported in humans with periodontal disease, but the current evidence of its effect in companion animals, especially cats, is still considered to be scarce and conflicting. This review describes the state of the art regarding feline periodontal disease and seeks to clarify the potential effect of omega-3 fatty acids on its clinical management in light of the evidence available in the current literature.
牙周病是一种口腔疾病，在 2 岁以上的猫中发病率很高，是由细菌菌斑引起的炎症反应引起的。治疗取决于疾病的阶段，可能包括牙齿刮除、局部应用牙周药物、组织再生，甚至拔牙和牙周手术。由于通常需要多模式治疗，因此开发了新的策略来改善这些患者的治疗反应。在患有牙周病的人类中已经报道了ω-3 脂肪酸的辅助使用，但在伴侣动物（尤其是猫）中其效果的现有证据仍被认为是有限的和相互矛盾的。本综述描述了猫牙周病的最新技术，并根据现有文献中的证据，试图阐明ω-3 脂肪酸对其临床管理的潜在影响。
