Aim of this study is to evaluate effect of Hand and ultrasonic instruments are used to remove deposits (plaque and calculus) from tooth surfaces, under general anesthesia. Materials and Methods: All periodontal parameters were assessed pre and postoperatively. Plaque index, gingival index, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level was evaluated. Hand and ultrasonic oral prophylaxis instruments were used. Procedure was performed under general anaesthesia. Result: Statistical analysis was conducted with paired student ttest. Significant reduction in all periodontal parameters was evident pre and post operatively. Conclusion: Oral health care is utmost important for pets.
