In a study of 63 rescued ferrets, 45 undergoing ax, what were the three most common abnormalities?
The most common clinical findings included:
- malocclusion of mandibular second incisor teeth (95.2 %) (Bilateral linguoversion)
- extrusion of canine teeth (93.7 %)
- -and abrasion and attrition of teeth (76.2 %).

What percentage of ferrets had fractured teeth? What teeth had fractures? Of these how many involved pulp?
Tooth fractures were exclusively associated with canine teeth and found in 31.7 % of ferrets. (all but one was maxillary tooth fractures)
Pulp exposure was confirmed in 60.0 % of fractured teeth.
What is considered a normal sulcus depth in ferrets?
The normal gingival sulcus depth
measured < 0.5-mm in 87.8 % of anesthetized ferrets.
What percentage of ferrets were found to have stage 2 PD?
Clinical evidence of periodontal disease was present in 65.3 % of anesthetized ferrets (gingivitis or probing depths > 0.5-mm)
What percentage of ferrets had stage 3 and 4 PD?
Zero
In this study, how many ferrets (%) had:
- evidence of tooth resorption,
- dental caries,
- stomatitis
- oral tumors
Zero
How old is a ferret when it erupts its permanent dentition?
Between 42 and 77 days of age
What is the dental formula of a ferret?
Adult ferrets have 34 teeth, with the permanent dental formula being I 3/3; C 1/1; P 3/3; M 1/2 = 34

What instrument is thiss?

An ODU 11/12 dental explorer
What tooth/teeth were most commonly affected by abrasion and attrition?
The mandibular and maxillary 3rd premolar teeth (
What is the prevelence of caries in dogs reported to be?
~5%
What is the dental formula of a Degu?
I 1/1, C 0/0, P 1/1, M 3/3, a total of 20 teeth

Do degus have monophyodont or dyphyodont dentition?
Monophyodont
When do rabits erupt their permanent dentition?
All of the permanent teeth erupt by day 35 postnatally.
Are guini pigs monophyodont or dyphyodont
Diphyodont
Describe eruption of guini pig teeth
It has been described that guinea pig embryos have four deciduous molars (one in each jaw).These are resorbed in utero and are replaced by corresponding permanent
What teeth are Degus born with?
Fully erupted incisor teeth
When do all of the premolar teeth erupt in degus?
First molar tooth eruption?
Second premolar teeth?
Maxillary third molar teeth eruption?
Mandibular third molar eruption?
Premolar teeth erupt in degus on day 2-3
First molar tooth eruption on day 4-5
Second premolar teeth on day 17-20
Maxillary third molar teeth eruption 38-40
Mandibular third molar eruption 39-46
When were incisor teeth in occlusion in degus?
When was functional occlusion of the first 2 cheek teeth in occlusion?
When were second molar teeth in occlusion?
When were third molars in occlusion?
Incisor teeth in occlusion in degus – at birth
Functional occlusion of the first 2 cheek teeth in occlusion – 10 days
Second molar teeth in occlusion – 30-33 days
Third molars in occlusion – 58-72 days (~2 mo)
What type of cells line a radicular cyst?
Squamous epithelial cells line radicular cells.
What is the deciduous dental formula of an alpaca?

Deciduous dental formula of alpacas: 2 x I1/3, C1/1, PM 2-3/1-2
All erupt prior to birth!
Adult dental formula of alpacas: 2 x I1/3, C1/1, PM 1-2/1-2, M 3/3

List the order of premolar and molar eruption
1st incisor - 2 years; 2nd incisor - 3 years, 3rd incisor - 3-6 years
Canine teeth - erupt between 2 and 7 years
Premolars and molars between 6 mo and 5 years in the order of: M1, M2, M3, PM3 and PM4
