INTRODUCTION
In this prospective, cross-sectional study, 303 feline patients were evaluated via cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for evidence of incidental ear disease during a dental procedure.
METHODS
All feline patients over one year of age presenting to a private practice veterinary dentistry and oral surgery specialty clinic underwent CBCT imaging which included the oral cavity and ear canals. The following were recorded if present: periodontal disease, tooth resorption and/or ear disease.
RESULTS
Ear disease was diagnosed as an incidental finding in 41.4% of cats that were imaged; this is higher than previously reported prevalence studies of the general feline population ranging from 2-19%. Periodontal disease and tooth resorption were not significantly associated with ear disease. However, cats less than or equal to 10 pounds were found to be at higher risk of ear disease.
DISCUSSION
This study highlights the importance of advanced imaging in the diagnosis of not only dental disease but also ear disease in cats.
引言
在这项前瞻性横断面研究中，对303只猫科动物患者在牙科手术期间通过锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）评估是否存在偶发性耳部疾病。
方法
所有到一家私人执业兽医牙科和口腔外科专科诊所就诊的一岁以上猫科动物患者均接受了CBCT成像，成像范围包括口腔和耳道。如有以下情况则进行记录：牙周病、牙齿吸收和/或耳部疾病。
结果
在接受成像的猫中，41.4%的猫被诊断出患有偶发性耳部疾病；这高于先前报道的普通猫科动物群体患病率研究（2%-19%）。牙周病和牙齿吸收与耳部疾病无显著关联。然而，发现体重小于或等于10磅的猫患耳部疾病的风险更高。
讨论
本研究强调了先进成像技术在诊断猫科动物牙科疾病和耳部疾病中的重要性。
