The efficacy of dental products in dogs that have not had their teeth professionally cleaned (\u201cdirty tooth model\u201d) has been studied far less often. Some dogs for which professional dental cleaning is indicated will not have their teeth cleaned because of anesthetic risk or for other reasons. In this study, 6 dental homecare products were evaluated against a negative control group; none of the dogs received professional dental cleaning at the start of the study. The home care protocols tested were: brushing every other day using a toothpaste, feeding a dental chew once daily (VF), adding a water additive in the water daily (AQ), brushing once a week\u2009+\u2009VF daily, brushing once a week\u2009+\u2009AQ daily, VF\u2009+\u2009AQ daily. Dental deposits (plaque and calculus) and periodontal health were assessed on awake dogs, before and after receiving the assigned homecare regimen for 8 weeks. Results were compared with an untreated control group. Dental deposits were reduced by regular mechanical action (brushing or VF daily). Periodontal health status was improved when AQ daily was combined with either brushing once a week or VF daily. Two scoring techniques useful for determining a recommendation from a veterinarian to commence home oral hygiene or recommend dental scaling as a necessary first step are described.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08987564241292769","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,26]],"date-time":"2024-11-26T02:58:46Z","timestamp":1732589926000},"page":"176-181","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Effectiveness of Dental Homecare Protocols in Unscaled Dogs"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"42","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9096-5671","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jerzy","family":"Gawor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Klinika Weterynaryjna ARKA, Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1630-2938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Jank","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pre-clinical Sciences and Infectious Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences, Pozna\u0144 University of Life Sciences, Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Colin E.","family":"Harvey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and Colin Harvey LLC Consulting Service, Cherry Hill, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5285-5946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Celine S.","family":"Nicolas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virbac"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jsap.13132"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.tcam.2008.02.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/089875649401100301"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/089875649401100103"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","first-page":"56","article-title":"Dog biscuits and clean teeth","volume":"55","author":"Whitney L","year":"1960","unstructured":"Whitney L.
