Members of the family Felidae suffer from a wide range of dental, oral and maxillofacial conditions that can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Although many dental, oral and maxillofacial anomalies of the domestic cat (Felis catus) also occur in wild felines, we could find no investigations of these conditions in servals (Leptailurus serval). The objective of this study was to describe the dental, oral and maxillofacial pathology of a wild serval population in South Africa. Detailed extraoral and intraoral examinations and full-mouth dental radiographs on 30 wild servals revealed 14 different dental conditions but no other oral or maxillofacial pathology.

野生薮猫(Leptailurus serval)种群的牙科病理学
猫科的成员患有多种牙齿、口腔和颌面部疾病,这些疾病会导致显着的发病率和死亡率。尽管家猫(Felis catus)的许多牙齿、口腔和颌面部异常也发生在野生猫科动物身上,但我们没有发现对薮猫(Leptailurus serval)这些情况的调查。本研究的目的是描述南非野生薮猫种群的牙齿、口腔和颌面部病理学。对 30 只野生薮猫进行了详细的口外和口内检查以及全口牙科 X 光片,显示出 14 种不同的牙齿状况,但没有其他口腔或颌面部病变。
