Abstract
Non-human primates have been extensively used in periodontal research to investigate the pathogenesis of periodontal disease, Rats and hamsters are best suited for caries and calculus research. Ferrets may be a promising new model for studying periodontal disease and calculus formation. Beagle dogs are best suited for periodontal disease models than for caries or calculus formation. The purpose of this review is to evaluate animals as models for studying various aspects of human periodontal disease, including the disease process, its prevention and treatment.
