title: [Extraction of the incisors in a dwarf rabbit].
abstract: The dwarf rabbit often suffers from dental malocclusion, particularly on the level of the incisors. A too short maxillary jawbone in these brachycephalic animals is the cause. The treatment of first intention consists in reducing the overgrowth using a diamond bur, but like the problem repeats quickly, an alternative consists in extracting the 6 incisors.
