To prevent periodontal disease development and/or progression, dental plaque must be disrupted as often as possible. This is primarily achieved by mechanical (active) means, combining professional oral care and daily tooth brushing at home. If an adequate technique and timing of tooth brushing is difficult to achieve, other active and passive oral homecare measures are available or being exploredParodontalna bolezen je ena izmed najpogostejših bolezni psov in mačk. Pri nastanku bolezni pomembno vlogo igrata predvsem mikrobiota ustne votline, organizirana v zobni plak, in imunski odgovor gostitelja. Preventiva in upočasnjevanje napredovanja parodontalne bolezni temeljita na preprečevanju nastanka zobnega plaka in/ali njegovem rednem odstranjevanju, ki je zlasti mehansko in vključuje profesionalno ustno higieno v kombinaciji z rednim dnevnim ščetkanjem zob. Če ustreznega dnevnega ščetkanja zob pri živali ni mogoče zagotoviti, pa ustno nego doma lahko zagotovimo z drugimi aktivnimi ali pasivnimi načini preprečevanja nastajanja zobnih oblog; nekateri načini so dobro opisani, nekateri pa se šele razvijajoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Veterinarska fakulteta
