Abstract:
Domestic rabbits have teeth that grow throughout the animal\'s life and are prone to disease. Clinical signs of dental disease in domestic rabbits are non-specific, and, therefore, a definitive diagnosis usually requires additional methods. This study was carried out on a group of 105 domestic rabbits aged 3 to 9 years. In total, 90 domestic rabbits with dental disease visible on CT images and other secondary diseases of the head area qualified for this study. Malocclusion was found in 57 (63.3%). Retrograde elongation of the tooth apices in the mandible was present in 39 (43.3%), and it was present in the maxilla in 48 (53%). Clinical tooth crowns were overgrown in 39 (43%). Dental abscesses were present in 54 (63%). Secondary to the presence of a dental abscess, osteomyelitis was found in 43 (79% of the animals with a dental abscess). Dental inflammatory resorption was found in 36 (40%). Secondary to dental disease, nasal cavity inflammation was found in 18 (20%). Otitis media was present in six (6.7%). The most common dental disease found in this study\'s animals was malocclusion secondary to abnormal clinical crown abrasion and abnormal tooth growth. In domestic rabbits, osteomyelitis is a common complication of dental abscesses. Computed tomography is an invaluable diagnostic method in the diagnosis of dental disease and secondary diseases of the head area, such as inflammation of the nasal cavities or otitis media, in pet rabbits.
摘要:
家兔的牙齿在动物的整个生命中都会生长,并且容易患病。家兔牙病的临床体征是非特异性的,and,因此,明确的诊断通常需要其他方法。这项研究是对一组105只3至9岁的家兔进行的。总的来说,90只在CT图像上可见的牙齿疾病和头区其他继发性疾病的家兔符合本研究的条件。57例(63.3%)出现错牙合畸形。下颌骨的牙尖逆行伸长有39例(43.3%),它存在于48(53%)的上颌骨中。临床牙冠过度生长39例(43%)。54例(63%)出现牙脓肿。继发于牙脓肿的存在,43例(79%为牙脓肿的动物)发现骨髓炎。在36(40%)中发现了牙科炎症吸收。继发于牙科疾病,18例(20%)出现鼻腔炎症。6例(6.7%)出现中耳炎。在这项研究的动物中发现的最常见的牙齿疾病是继发于临床牙冠磨损异常和牙齿生长异常的错牙合畸形。在家兔中,骨髓炎是牙脓肿的常见并发症。计算机断层扫描是诊断牙齿疾病和头区继发性疾病的一种宝贵的诊断方法,如鼻腔炎症或中耳炎,在宠物兔子。
