Synopses & Reviews
A comprehensive animal dental radiology text devoted to diagnoses of dogs, cats, primates, numerous zoo animals, rodents, and lagomorphs (primarily rabbits). The text covers radiology techniques, normal oral anatomy, pedodontics, endodontics, periodontics, restorative work, orthodontics, oral neoplasia, oral trauma, and other conditions.
While the bulk of the text is devoted to canine and feline dentistry, the section on primates is excellent, the section on zoo animals provides a wide range of sample radiographs for different species, and the section on rodents and rabbits provides new material that will be valuable to students and veterinary practitioners alike.
Contributing specialists in each area make this a state-of-the-art reference. Presents more than 580 radiographs, accompanied by explanations of diseased and normal tissue in domestic, exotic, and zoo animals. Also includes a glossary of veterinary dental terminology
