Abstract

In the days in which we live today, global medical assistance for dentistry is very important. We have a high technological value, to share in a transversal vision in veterinary medicine. The correct assessment of patients' clinical signs, like pain, must be motivating inside and outside the operating room. The influence of orofacial and dental trauma on the life course of patients should be considered, especially since pediatric age. Good oral health is crucial for an emerging cardiorespiratory health. It is considered fundamental to evaluation and perception of the oral-lung axis, especially in the current proximity between animals and humans. With access to the reference service in the North of Portugal - Oporto, 5236 animals were treated, between 2018 and 2021 in our clinic with various stomatological diseases that required advanced oral treatments such as Maxillofacial Surgery, Endodontics, Orthodontics and Implant Placement. The procedures are described in detail throughout this work. The evolution of patients exceeded 89.90% in terms of quality of life, boosting the concept of global medical care in veterinary dentistry. All data is processed on the salesforce platform
