Vesiviruses have been detected in several animal species and as accidental contaminants of cells. We detected vesiviruses in asymptomatic kennel dogs (64.8%) and symptomatic (1.1%) and asymptomatic (3.5%) household dogs in Italy. The full-length genome of 1 strain, Bari/212/07/ITA, shared 89%-90% nt identity with vesiviruses previously detected in contaminated cells.

As we age, physiological or pathological tooth wear can alter our occlusion from canine-guided (or ‘canine-protected’) lateral excursion, to group function. Group function itself is not problematic, but the burden of excursion be damaging compromised teeth. It may desirable restore patient protect heavily restored A minimally invasive option canine ramp.
