Its main complication is the formation of periapical abscess, which, when affecting the maxillary canine teeth, can lead to the formation of oronasal fistulae. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of self-curing glass ionomer cement, covered by photopolymerizable adhesive, as a protective element for mucoperiosteal or gingival flap sutures in oral surgery of dogs. We studied 15 dogs from the clinical routine of the dental service of a teaching veterinary hospital, which needed oral surgeries to correct oronasal fistulae, defects or oral cavity communications, regardless of the causal agent. Group one (G1) was composed of seven animals that presented oronasal fistulae after the extraction of maxillary canine teeth compromised by severe periodontal disease. These fistulae were reduced by the double-mucoperiosteal-flap technique, 15 days after the dental extraction. Group two (G2) was composed of five other dogs that presented oronasal fistulae after the extraction of maxillary canine teeth compromised by severe periodontal disease. In this group, the fistulae were reduced by the single-flap technique, immediately after the dental extraction. Group three (G3) was composed of three animals, two of which presented oronasal fistulae due to maxillary fracture and the third one after excision of oral neoplasia. In all groups, simple interrupted sutures were used with 3.0 nylon, and a thin layer of self-curing glass ionomer cement was applied immediately over the operated area. After cement\u2019s settling time, a thin layer of photopolymerizable adhesive was applied to the already polymerized cement. In G1, the protective cement was removed on average at 15 (\u00b12) postoperative days, in G2 at 6 (\u00b11) days and in G3 at 11 (\u00b19) days. In the postoperative period, the animals received antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and they received their usual dry dog food diet. No Elizabethan collar or any other protective measure was used for suturing or the surgical wound. The result was healing of 100% of the oronasal fistulae, without suture dehiscence or the need for new surgical interventions. Thus, it was concluded that the use of self-curing glass ionomer cement covered by photopolymerizable adhesive was fully satisfactory, providing protection of sutures and surgical wounds and showing the potential for routine use in oral surgery in dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani13162648","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,17]],"date-time":"2023-08-17T10:42:29Z","timestamp":1692268949000},"page":"2648","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Self-Curing Glass Ionomer Cement Covered by Photopolymerizable Adhesive for Protection of Mucoperiosteal or Gingival Flap Sutures in Canine Oral Surgery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0600-5836","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salviano Tramontin","family":"Bellettini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Animal Science with Emphasis on Bioactive Products, Universidade Paranaense (UNIPAR), Umuarama 87502-210, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Regiane Pereira Baptista","family":"da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Animal Science with Emphasis on Bioactive Products, Universidade Paranaense (UNIPAR), Umuarama 87502-210, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Diogo Fernandes","family":"Giovanelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Animal Science with Emphasis on Bioactive Products, Universidade Paranaense (UNIPAR), Umuarama 87502-210, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1798-7871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emerson Luiz Botelho","family":"Louren\u00e7o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Biotechnology Applied to Agriculture, Universidade Paranaense (UNIPAR), Umuarama 87502-210, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0983-3562","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elton","family":"da Cruz Alves Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Biotechnology Applied to Agriculture, Universidade Paranaense (UNIPAR), Umuarama 87502-210, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karina","family":"Sakumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Medicinal and Phytotherapeutic Plants in Primary Care, Universidade Paranaense (UNIPAR), Umuarama 87502-210, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8322-8905","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela Dib","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Medicinal and Phytotherapeutic Plants in Primary Care, Universidade Paranaense (UNIPAR), Umuarama 87502-210, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Ricardo","family":"Pachaly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brazilian Institute of Specialties in Veterinary Medicine (ESPECIALVET), Maring\u00e1 87014-080, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"49","article-title":"Considera\u00e7\u00f5es hist\u00f3ricas e legais sobre a odontologia veterin\u00e1ria no Brasil","volume":"4","author":"Ciffoni","year":"2001","journal-title":"Arq.
