[Polyodontia and abnormal forms of teeth in dogs (author's transl)].
Polyodontia was observed in forty-seven (13 per cent) out of 373 dogs studied. These forty-seven dogs with polyodontia included sixteen Boxers. The supernumerary tooth was situated in the proximity of the first premolar in the maxilla in thirty-two dogs. The following abnormal forms were observed among the teeth of the dogs: dichotomy of an incisor in a Fox Terrier and a Great Dane, a pair of geminate teeth at the site of the first mandibular premolar in a Rottweiler and a fused premolar near the first maxillary premolar in a Boxer. The possible pathogenesis of polyodontia and abnormal tooth forms is discussed.
