Forty-five mixed breed dogs were evaluated for the presence and extent of periodontal disease. Histopathology was performed on samples of lung, myocardium, liver, kidney, tonsil, spleen, submandibular lymph node and tracheobronchial lymph node. Mitral valves were evaluated grossly. Statistical analysis was used to determine if there was a relationship between the extent of periodontal disease and histopathologic changes in the tissues examined. In the forty-five dogs studied, an association was found between periodontal disease and histopathologic changes in kidney, myocardium (papillary muscle), and liver.
对45只杂种犬进行了牙周病存在情况及严重程度的评估。对肺、心肌、肝、肾、扁桃体、脾、下颌下淋巴结和气管支气管淋巴结的样本进行了组织病理学检查。对二尖瓣进行大体评估。采用统计学分析来确定牙周病严重程度与所检查组织的组织病理学变化之间是否存在关联。在所研究的45只犬中，发现牙周病与肾、心肌（乳头肌）和肝的组织病理学变化之间存在关联。
