Comparison of diagnostic consistency and accuracy between radiography and computed tomography in rabbits with dental disease

Dental disease is often diagnosed in pet rabbits and represents one of the most common presenting problems with this companion exotic species. Dental disease is acquired in most cases, although the underlying etiology can be varied and congenital. Hypotheses for pathophysiologic development of clinical dental problems in rabbit patients have been reported to be associated with developmental abnormalities, trauma, insufficient wearing of elodont teeth, or as a consequence of metabolic bone disease.
