This lecture discusses the clinical aspects of dentistry in guinea pigs, including:

- the importance of a thorough history;

- the clinical exam in the conscious patient;

- anesthetic protocols and anesthetic considerations;

- radiography (normal radiographic anatomy, extraoral projections);

- oral endoscopy;

- computed tomography of the head and teeth.

This lecture focuses on anesthesia and analgesia aimed at surgical and non-surgical dental procedures in dentistry for guinea pigs.

This lecture focuses on:

- anatomy and physiology of the digestive system;

- nutrition;

and represents an important premise to pathophysiology of dental disease.

This lecture focuses entirely on the pathophysiology and visual description of dental diseases and related complications, including:

- elongation of clinical crowns;

- periapical infections;

- osteomyelitis;

- elodontomas;

The visual description includes dental and bony specimens, as well as diagnostic imaging modalities displaying radiographic, CT, and endoscopic abnormalities.

This lecture describes the indications and intraoral procedures for treatment of the dental diseases, including coronal reduction and extraction.

This lecture focuses on the surgical treatment of periapical infections and odontogenic abscesses. It includes:

- the clinical presentation;

- surgical approaches;

- postoperative management of the patient;

- follow-up and complications.

This lecture is an appendix to the previous lecture. Using a case report of the surgical treatment of a retromasseteric abscess in a guinea pig, this is a practical session with videos of step-by-step procedures.
