Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dentistry is one of the most rapidly developing fields of veterinary medicine. Many companion animals suffer from oral diseases. With the development of medicine as well as diagnosis and treatment techniques, we can improve the lives of animals suffering from malocclusions, stomatitis, tumours and tumour-like lesions, and most importantly try to prevent them. Additionally, the oral cavity condition affects other organs and systems, mostly cardiovascular and respiratory, and it is essential to determine new correlations between them. It is my pleasure to invite you to submit original research, review papers, case series, unique case reports and short communications focused on oral cavity surgery, oral disease prevention, oral cavity tumours and novel treatment techniques. In this Special Issue on “Stomatology of Companion Animals—Second Edition”, new insights in the stomatology of companion animals will be presented. This Special Issue will expand our current knowledge on the veterinary stomatology proceeding new information in a joint effort of veterinary clinicians and pathologists. I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

This retrospective study evaluated 92 feline oral neoplasms diagnosed in Thailand to characterize neoplasm types, anatomical distribution, and clinically relevant associations. Epithelial neoplasms accounted for 73% of all neoplasms, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common (67%). Other epithelial neoplasms such as ameloblastoma, amelanotic melanoma, and adenocarcinoma were uncommon. Mesenchymal neoplasms (27%) were more heterogeneous, encompassing fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, lymphoma, plasma cell tumors, and several rare entities. Cats with epithelial neoplasms were significantly older than those with mesenchymal neoplasms (11.0 ± 3.8 vs. 6.8 ± 4.1 years old; p < 0.001), while body weight, sex, clinical stage, and perioperative mortality did not differ between neoplasm types. Breed distribution varied by neoplasm origin, with epithelial neoplasms more common in domestic shorthair cats, and the maxillary gingiva was the most frequently affected site. Neoplasm size strongly correlated with disease stage, as neoplasms > 2 cm were associated with advanced stages, while neoplasms ≤ 2 cm were typically stage I. Antibiotic use was significantly more frequent in senior cats compared to mature/adult cats (p = 0.014). In summary, SCC is the most common oral tumor in cats, indicating the importance of routine oral examinations, particularly in senior cats. Full article

Accurate knowledge of orbital and infraorbital regions and their relation to pterygopalatine fossa is essential for improving safety and effectiveness of infraorbital and maxillary nerve blocks and for guiding surgical procedures in dentistry. Previous studies relied on multiplanar or three-dimensional reconstructions of computed tomographic (CT) images, requiring additional processing and expertise. Scans from 24 European Shorthair cats were analyzed retrospectively, to provide anatomical landmarks and reference values for orbital and infraorbital regions, using a simplified approach based on linear measurements taken directly from sagittal, transverse and dorsal CT planes. Repeatability of measurements was confirmed, with all parameters showing strong agreement across sessions. Significant differences were observed between mean infraorbital canal length in females (5.02 ± 0.42) and males (5.46 ± 0.46), and skull length in females (88.06 ± 3.16) and males (94.54 ± 4.52). Males exhibited 0.42 mm larger infraorbital major axis. After adjustment for skull size, only selected differences persisted, reflecting proportionally longer skulls in males. This study contributes practical reference data to support the limited safe depth for infraorbital/maxillary nerve blocks and the associated risk of globe penetration if instruments are advanced too far into the infraorbital canal. By proposing this simplified and clinic-ready workflow, our results provide foundation for standardization of feline orbital and infraorbital morphometry. Full article
