Abstract
Nowadays special attention must be paid to pathology associated with the violation of the change of milk teeth to permanent of dogs of dwarf breeds. This fact is confirmed by the results of a statistical analysis of appeals from dog owners to specialized dental care at the “Veterinary Hospital”: 33 % of the animals were diagnosed with “false polyodontics” a general increase in the number of teeth due to non-temporal loss. In the literature, it is noted that the hormones of the thyroid and parathyroid glands, sex hormones regulate the exchange of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, thereby affecting the speed of tooth changes and the degree of bone mineralization. As a result of the research, the authors determined the features of hormonal and mineral homeostasis of the body during the period of teeth change in dogs of dwarf breeds at the age of 6 months in the blood serum, characterized by the thyroid gland profile, sex hormones – at the lower reference values, increased phosphorus and calcium levels.

The diseases of the oral cavity are a large group among pathologies of noncommunicable and infectious etiology
That pathologies of the dentofacial system lead to the development of chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system and respiratory system, which affects their functional and morphological characteristics
The analysis of the results showed a slight increase in the concentration of magnesium to the level of 1.11 ± 0.21 mmol/l, which is due to the low content of calcium and parathyroid hormone in the blood [10]
Summary
The diseases of the oral cavity are a large group among pathologies of noncommunicable and infectious etiology. The damage to organs and tissues of oral cavity is associated with structural features and functioning, communication with the external environment, the presence of specific microflora, the effects of various environmental factors, etc. It is known, that pathologies of the dentofacial system lead to the development of chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system and respiratory system, which affects their functional and morphological characteristics. Animals diagnosed with «spuria polyodontia» are common in the practice of a modern veterinarian dentist. «Spuria polyodontia» – is an abnormal increase in the number of teeth due to persistent teeth. Knowledge and understanding of the anatomical, morphological and functional characteristics of the dentition of dogs lies at the heart of the prevention and treatment of various oral pathologies
