Abstract
The article presents the chemical composition of native dental calculus in dogs. The study was carried out on the basis of the Department of Animal Diseases and Veterinary and Sanitary Examination of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education Vavilov University and Quality Control of Medicines of the Saratov State Medical University named after V. I. Razumovsky of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and the Department of Anatomy and Histology of Animals named after Prof. A.F. Klimov, Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology – MVA by K.I. Skryabin. The object of the study was dogs (n=300). The material for the study was a native dental stone, which was obtained during the rehabilitation of the maxillary system in dogs at the Tsentralnaya na Moskovskaya veterinary clinic (Saratov). A laboratory method was used, which includes qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis, which established a diverse number of mineral accumulative formations. Thus, the maximum values were reached by calcium - 384.67±6.51 mg/g and carbon dioxide - 154.84±2.56 mg/g, and the minimum values were phosphorus – 1.15±0.02 mg/g and fluoride ions - 0.23±0.04 mg/g. In our opinion, the mineral composition of the dental calculus can be influenced by many factors, such as the characteristics of feeding and maintenance, the time of residence of this formation on the surface of the teeth, the degree of its mineralization, the age of the animal, the breed and morphological type of the head. The data presented by us can serve as extrapolation results, thanks to which it is possible to create a more complete picture of the chemical composition of dental calculus in dogs, which is important to take into account when rehabilitating the oral cavity.
