Cover Story: Equine periodontal disease (EPD) is a painful oral inflammatory syndrome characterized by a multifactorial pathogenesis. Although it is well known that bacterial proliferation and consequent gingivitis are caused by the decomposition process of food residues, in hypsodont species, such as equids, the pathogenetic role and the different bacterial species involved in the progression of EPD must be fully clarified. This study examines the relationship between red complex bacteria (RCB, i.e., Treponema denticola, Tannerella forsythia, and Porphyromonas gingivalis), Fusobacterium nucleatum, Veilonella parvula, Prevotella intermedia, and periodontal disease, and other risk factors. View this paper
