Anatomy and Physiology of Rabbit Dentistry. A thorough understanding of normal oral anatomy and physiology is necessary for prevention and treatment of dental disease in rabbits.
Rabbit teeth are classified as elodont (for their continuous growth with no anatomic root) and hypsodont (for having a long crown). The dental formula of the rabbit is 2 (I 2/1, C 0/0, PM 3/2, M 3/3) =28. The lack of canine teeth creates an elongated diastema between the incisors and premolars.
15 Ιαν 2016 · Before one can understand how a rabbit uses his teeth, one must first understand some basics of the dental anatomy of a rabbit. An adult rabbit has 28 teeth. There are six incisors: two pairs of incisors on the “top” or maxilla (the second pair, often referred to as “peg teeth” are much smaller and are positioned behind the longer front ...
The first part of this review focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the rabbit mouth. Practical understanding is critical to comprehend the dynamic pathologic changes of dental disease, which is one of the most common presenting problems in rabbits.
However, unlike rodents with only one pair of maxillary incisor teeth, rabbits and hares usually have two pairs of teeth, namely two larger labial first incisor teeth and two smaller palatal second incisor teeth (or “peg” teeth) (Figures 2.10, 2.11).
Anatomy and Physiology of the Teeth. Rabbits have only 2 types of teeth, incisors and CT, which are separated by the diastema (see Fig. 1). They do not have canines and the premolars are large resembling the molar teeth, whereas the last molars (M3) are diminished (see Fig. 1).
Rabbits are herbivores. Their teeth are unrooted and so grow continually. Like rodents, rabbits may need their incisors trimmed if they are overgrown. Rabbits have an interesting arrangement of their upper incisors in that the second incisor is behind the first incisor.
