Plaque Control and Prevention of Plaque and Tartar Accumulation

Monday, January 19
Hyatt Regency Hotel  |  Regency T Ballroom
6:30 AM

This presentation, delivered by Jerzy Gawor, DVM, PhD, FAVD, DAVDC, focuses on the critical role of oral hygiene in veterinary dentistry for dogs and cats. It emphasizes that oral hygiene is a natural environmental factor influencing oral health, and without it, periodontal surgical outcomes are compromised.

The core message is that plaque is the primary cause of periodontal disease, and effective prevention requires a tailored, multi-faceted approach combining active and passive methods, education, and evidence-based products.
