Versorgung von Zahnfrakturen beim Kurzkrallenotter Aonyx cinerea (Illiger, 1815) – ein Beitrag zur Zahnhygiene bei Marderartigen (Mustelidae) in menschlicher Obhut

The oral examination of a five and half years old Asian Small-Clawed Otter (Aonyx cinerea) showed the accumulation of tartar and two complicated tooth fractures. The tartar has been removed with an ultrasonic device. The fractured molar of the mandibula has been extracted and the damaged canine tooth of the maxilla has been treated by an endodontic procedure. Half a year later the x-ray control of the canine tooth indicated a stop of the periapical reactions.
