Established a scale for measuring the severity based on 4 points: No apparent damage, moderate inflammation of periodontal area, periodontal inflammation of the true area and severe inflammation of periodontal area with abundant plaque dental.

The prevalence of periodontitis level 1, from 23.07%; level 2, from 46.15%; level 3, of 18.26% and level 4 of 12.50%. Statistically associated factors were age, the old, 3.16±0.50 (p = 0.029), the better nourished, with ± showed a higher rate, with 2.51±0.39 (p = 0.000); as well as those of race the Neapolitan mastin and great dane average rate of 4±0.90 and 80, respectively.
