Diagnosis of dental problems in pet rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)

摘要

Dental problems are very common in pet rabbits. To establish a correct diagnosis of rabbit dental pathology, a general knowledge of normal dental anatomy and physiology is necessary. The specific anatomy and the most common pathologies of rabbit dentition are reviewed. Techniques for diagnosing dental abnormalities - such as clinical examination, radiography and computed tomography (CT) - are summarized. Finally, two clinical cases of rabbits with dental pathologies are described.
