Abstract: 

Dental problems are very common in pet rabbits. To establish a correct diagnosis of rabbit dentalpathology, a general knowledge of normal dental anatomy and physiology is necessary. The specific anatomyand the most common pathologies of rabbit dentition are reviewed.Techniques for diagnosing dental abnormalities − such as clinical examination, radiography and computedtomography (CT) − are summarized. Finally, two clinical cases of rabbits with dental pathologies aredescribed.
