The smaller breeds of dogs and cats that are more popular now are more prone to periodontal disease, and the longer life span of the animals means that such diseases tend to be more severe and problematic. Here specialists cover understanding the periodontal disease process, the progression of disease, initial therapy of periodontal disease, periodontal surgical techniques, related topics, and periodontal instrumentation.
