Abstract

On a sample of 174 X-rayed dogs a statistical analysis was compiled of oligodontia, post-extraction state, impaction and tooth fracture. A total of 261 anomalies were found. The most frequently observed condition was oligodontia (62%) followed by tooth fracture (23.7%), impaction (7.6%) and post-extraction state (6.5%). The majority of patients (28) comprised German Hunting Terriers where, from the total of registered anomalies, tooth fractures accounted for 45% of the cases. Oligodontia is the most frequent anomaly in the Collie. Of 261 acquired anomalies oligodontia was established in 38% of cases.
