Sažetak
Results of non invasive virtual imaging of normal and altered wild boar tusks are presented. Pathologically altered tusk structure is presented for two pairs of mandibular canines that experienced different traumatic impacts and in one lower mandible with a complete loss of the right lower canine. Wild boar tusks represent a valuable material for dental pathologists due to their characteristic position and consequent predisposition to injury, their enormous reparative potential and the fact that they are collected and kept as trophies over extended periods of time. However, their value as trophy often limits the possibility of analysis of internal structural changes by destructive methods. In this situation, the use of non invasive methods can provide insights into the nature of pathological and reparation processes related to traumatic impacts on wild boar tusks.
