Abstract :In this study, the gingival inflammation degree of dogs was determined according to the Gingival Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GI);. According to this index, it was aimed to determine the free gingiva insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FG);, attached gingiva insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AG); and alveolar mucosa insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AM); temperatures of the gingiva of dogs with healthy gums by means of a thermal camera. The material of the study consisted of the gingiva of 140 dogs aged 2 years and older, who were brought to Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Animal Hospital, Surgery Clinic, non-brachiocephalic and without periodontal destruction in their gingiva. Healthy maxillary insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n= 427); and mandibular insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n= 671); gums in addition maxillary insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=432); and mandibular insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n= 463); gums with gingivitis were included in the study. The FG temperature of the buccal surface of the healthy maxillary gingiva was 36.25±1.43°C, the AG temperature was 36.81±1.37°C, and the AM temperature was 37.53±1.30°C. The FG temperature of the buccal surface of the healthy mandibular gingiva was 35.46±1.42°C. In addition the AG temperature was 36.26±1.35°C, and the AM temperature was 37.01±1.22°C. The FG temperature of the maxillary gums with gingivitis was 36,40±1,32°C, the AG temperature was 36,95±1,21°C, and the AM temperature was 37,57±1,21°C. The FG temperature of the mandibular gums with gingivitis was 35,82±1,26°C, the AG temperature was 36,57±1,16°C, and the AM temperature was 37,27±1,10°C. Temperature difference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r); between in maxillary and mandibular FG insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r= 0.78°C and p= .000);, AG insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r= 0.52°C and p= .000); and AM insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r= 0.51°C and p= .000); of dogs with healthy gums temperatures were found to be significant. Temperature difference between maxillary and mandibular FG with gingivitis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r= 0.58°C and p= .000);, AG insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r= 0.38°C and p= .000); and AM insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r= 0.29°C and p= .000); were found to be statistically significant. It was concluded that the thermal camera can be an effective diagnostic tool in detecting inflammatory changes in the gingiva.
