Camel Periodental Disease
Explore the challenges of Camel Periodontal Disease in this comprehensive presentation by Prof. Dr. Mike Chan, designed for veterinarians and livestock caretakers. Periodontal disease, one of the most prevalent oral health issues in camels, involves progressive inflammation and infection of the supporting structures of the teeth, leading to gingival recession, periodontal pocketing, tooth loss, oral pain, halitosis, impaired feeding, and reduced productivity. Contributing factors include feed impaction, abrasive diets, bacterial biofilms, systemic health conditions, and age-related dental wear. Diagnosis requires a thorough oral examination, often supported by imaging modalities such as radiography and endoscopy to assess the extent of periodontal damage. Conventional management includes dental scaling, feed adjustment, antimicrobial therapy, and in severe cases, extraction of affected teeth. Beyond traditional approaches, this presentation introduces cutting-edge regenerative and integrative therapies, including PSC (Precursor Stem Cell Therapy), FOP (Frozen Organo Peptides), FOC (Frozen Organo Cryogenics), and TopPetPro innovations such as MITO Peptide Organotherapy and NANO Peptide Organotherapy. These novel strategies aim to regenerate periodontal tissues, control infection, alleviate pain, and improve the overall well-being and productivity of camels.
