Overview

Randomized trial evaluates dental anomalies in dogs with class II malocclusions, indicating higher prevalence compared to normal occlusion.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the prevalence of dental anomalies in dogs with class II malocclusion compared to those with normal occlusion.
  • Retrospective review of medical records from three veterinary dentistry referral centers
  • Inclusion of dogs with complete oral examinations, dental charting, and full-mouth diagnostic imaging
  • Comparison of dental anomalies using multivariable generalized linear models, adjusting for age, sex, and body weight.
  • Affected dogs exhibited higher prevalence of dental crowding, persistent deciduous teeth, and rotated teeth compared to controls.
  • Other anomalies like supernumerary teeth and hypodontia were noted but did not significantly differ between groups.
