Determination of gingival temperatures of dogs with healthy gums by means of a thermal camera

In this study, the gingival inflammation degree of dogs was determined according to Gingival Index (GI). According index, it aimed determine free gingiva (FG), attached (AG) and alveolar mucosa (AM) temperatures with healthy gums by means a thermal camera. The material study consisted 140 aged 2 years older, who were brought Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, Faculty Veterinary Medicine, Animal Hospital, Surgery Clinic, non-brachiocephalic without periodontal destruction in their gingiva. Healthy maxillary (n= 427) mandibular 671) addition (n=432) 463) gingivitis included study. FG temperature buccal surface 36.25±1.43°C, AG 36.81±1.37°C, AM 37.53±1.30°C. 35.46±1.42°C. 36.26±1.35°C, 37.01±1.22°C. 36,40±1,32°C, 36,95±1,21°C, 37,57±1,21°C. 35,82±1,26°C, 36,57±1,16°C, 37,27±1,10°C. Temperature difference (r) between (r= 0.78°C p= .000), 0.52°C .000) 0.51°C found be significant. 0.58°C 0.38°C 0.29°C statistically It concluded that camera can an effective diagnostic tool detecting inflammatory changes
