Immune Related Inflammatory Oral Disease In The Canine

Immune related inflammatory disease in the oral cavity provides the clinician a diagnostic and treatment challenge. A tooth fracture is such and periodontal disease can be identified via Stages (1-4) with both probing and radiographic identification. However, immune oral pathology can mimic many processes. This lecture will review some of those processes and how to both identify and treat those conditions. I will be referencing three major pieces of literature (Frontiers in Veterinary Science, a lecture by Cindy Bell at the 2024 Veterinary Dental Forum and a recent article in JoVD regarding treatment of Canine Contact Ulcerative Stomatitis by Jamie Anderson)
