Due to the small size of the rabbit’s oral cavity, a ____________________ may be needed to perform a thorough dental exam under
qwelly [4]

Answer: A RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION

Explanation:

The oral cavity of animals such as rabbits can be examined when cases of dental diseases are suspected. Dental diseases in rabbits may be due to congenital or traumatic origin. A proper oral examination can help in the prevention, onset, and treatment of dental disease.

The oral cavity of rabbits is small, making it impossible to examine the cheek teeth without instrumentation and sedation. To reduce stress and for proper examination of the oral cavity, radiographic examinations are used under anesthesia. This is the best option for a thorough dental examination because:

--> The bulk of the teeth and the supporting structures is below the gumline, HIDDEN from view during gross oral examination,

--> Proper positioning of the rabbit can be obtained which is vital for correct interpretation of radiographic images.

--> It provides the veterinarian with information on treatment options and long-term prognosis.
