Abstract: It was determined the prevalence of periodontitis, a level of severity and associated factors in 104 dogs gathered in the streets and slaughtered in a control center and canine anti-rabies from Mexico city. 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. Under an epidemiological approach, was determined by multiple regression and analysis of variance, the significant factors and differences between races. 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.
