Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between periodontal disease levels and blood glucose value in dogs. Fifty dog patients from five veterinary clinics in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador were studied. The dogs were small breeds, 1-7 years of age. Sex and type of diet (homemade, mixed, balanced) were recorded. The degree of periodontal disease (healthy or without periodontitis, gingivitis, and mild, moderate, and severe periodontitis) and three serum glucose levels (hyperglycaemia, normoglycaemia, and hypoglycaemia) were considered as variables. Spearman's test was used to determine the correlation of periodontitis levels with blood glucose values, age, sex and type of diet. In addition, an analysis of variance was performed for the comparison of means of periodontal disease and glucose and a Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons. A positive correlation (p<0.05) of periodontal disease with age (7 years) and sex (male) was obtained, but not with glycemia or type of diet.
