4 Dental Form and Function as it Relates to Dental Therapy of Wild Animals

NOTE: Step‐by‐step therapeutic examples follow this section. Below is an outline indicating effective dental treatment modalities for various tooth types.

Elodont: Teeth that are continuously growing and have open apices. If vital, elodont teeth are better treated with pulpotomy. If necrotic, then root canal therapy or extraction is indicated.

1 Animals with only anterior elodont teeth (most rodents, e.g. rats, mice, squirrels; elephant tusks; hog tusks; hippo canines and incisors; upper incisors of hyrax).

2 Animals with both anterior and posterior elodont teeth. (Examples include Lagomorphs and some rodents [guinea pigs and chinchilla]; wombats are the sole marsupials).

3 Animals with only posterior elodont teeth (e.g. edentates [anteaters, armadillo, pangolins and sloths], and the primitive ungulate [aardvark]).

Tusks are elodont teeth:

Proboscidea: African and Asian elephant tusks are maxillary lateral incisors (2I2).

Artiodactyla: Tusks of hogs, and pigs, including babirusa are the maxillary and mandibular canines.

Elodont maxillary incisors: Hyrax (Atlantogenata)

(Little brother elephant – reference Maasai warriors).

Elodont canines:

Artiodactyla, Suidae: Hogs and pigs, babirusa

Rostral elodont teeth (canines and incisors):

Artiodactyla: Hippopotamus, peccary

Rodentia: Dormice, old and new world rats and mice, kangaroo rats, squirrels, beavers, and capybara generally have elodont anterior teeth, brachydont and loxidont posterior teeth.

Elodont maxillary canines and incisors: Perissodactyla

Rhinoceros has elodont maxillary canines and incisors.

Elodont posterior teeth:

Aardvark [1] – Tubulidenata (primitive ungulate)

Elodont all dentition:

Rodentia: Degu (South American rat), guinea pig, paca, chinchilla (see Figures 4.6 and 4.7).

Lagomorpha (see Figures 4.84.11).

Wombat: Heterodont, elodont (entire dentition); the only marsupial in this category. All teeth are aradicular hypsodont [2].

Bunodont: Dentition that has low crowns (roots are relatively long compared to the crowns), with prominent conical cusps on posterior teeth (e.g. pigs, bears, and browsing herbivores).

Carnivora, Pinnepedia: Walrus (post canines).

Artiodactyla, Hippopotamidae: Hippopotamus molars.

Artiodactyla, Bovidae: Buffalo, cattle, spiral‐horned antelopes, browsing antelopes, grazing antelopes, horse‐like antelopes, Gazelles and dwarf antelopes, sheep.

Edentata: Sloths.

Bunodont and Brachydont:

Artiodactyla, suidae: Pigs (Figures 4.12 and 4.13).

Brachydont: Browzers. Crowns shorter than roots and suffer relatively little occlusal wear, with roots that, at dental maturity, are longer than the crowns; not ever‐growing. Usually omnivores, carnivores:

Carnivora, Canidae, Felidae, Ursidae, Pongidae, Artiodactyla, Cervidae: Non‐grazing herbivores, aka browzers, e.g. tapir, deer, giraffe (see Figures 4.14 and 4.15).

Rodentia: Squirrels and beavers, old and new world rats and mice, kangaroo rat, porcupines.

Homodont: (Figures 4.184.21).

Carnivora, Pinnepedia: Sea lion (homodont posterior teeth)

Edentata: Armadillo, sloth (cheek teeth)

Cetacea: Monophydont: Whales, dolphins, porpoises (when teeth are present)

Reptilia: Pleurodont homodont: Snakes, lizards

Hypsodont: Grazers. High crowns, longer than the roots, forever growing, whose anatomical crowns shorten through occlusal attrition with age (e.g. Equidae, Elephant molars). (Figures 4.224.28).

Artiodactyla: Pronghorn antelopes

Perissodactyla: Horses, zebras.

Proboscidea: African and Asian elephant ‐ heterodont, elodont tusks (2I2), hypsodont molars that are loxodont.

Rodentia: Beavers, gerbils, hamsters, squirrels, marmots, prairie dogs.

Hypsodont and Brachydont: Are treated similarly endodontically.

Rodentia, Geomyidae: Pocket gopher

Thecodont: Teeth set in a gomphosis (socket), as in dinosaurs, crocodiles, and mammals, including humans and rhinoceros.

Endodontic treatment plan similar to dogs, cats, and humans:

Carnivora (Canidae, Felidae, Mustelidae, Pongidae)

Procyonidae, Ursidae [Bunodont 1M1], Hyaenidae – aardwolf [Small caniform (microdontia of premolars), Homodont]: Heterodont, diphyodont, secodont carnassials teeth brachydont posterior teeth.

Primatomorpha:

Marsupialia: Secodont, bunodont and brachydont or hypsodont 3P3K
