Abstrakt		Periodontitis is considered to be a chronic inflammatory disease with progressive destruction of the supporting connective tissues and alveolar bone resorption. This may result in loss of teeth, especially in small breed dogs. More than 90% of the small dog population older than 3 years has some measurable periodontal disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship mouth radiographs in poodles. The dogs were devided by by age into three groups: group 1 aged 3-5 years, group 2 aged 6-9 years and group 3 aged 10-13 years. For clinical and radiographic analysis the upper and lower teeth were assessed as follows: incisors, canines, and premolar/molars. Our results indicated that the prevalence and severity pf periodontal disease increased with age. In addition, the deepest pockets and most severe bone loss found around the canine teeth. The values obtained from radiographic analysis correlated well with clinical measurements. Full-mouth radiographic surveys show clearly the alveolar bone level around the whiole dentition of dogs. It should be performed prior to institution of any treatment. Follow-up radiographs should be taken at regular intervals to determine the long-term success of the treatment.
