“…Dental disease with histologic, clinical, and radiological elements consistent with elodontomas or former odontomas have been reported in the guinea pig, 38 degu, 39 pet tree squirrels (Paraxerus cepapi), 28 rats, 29,[40][41][42] and mice. 30,[43][44][45] Dental disease with histologic, clinical, and radiological elements consistent with pseudo-odontomas have been reported in the prairie dog 3,5,7,[31][32][33][34][35]46 (reported also as elodontomas), 47 eastern gray squirrel, 48 and anecdotally in a chinchilla, a chipmunk, 3 and a citellus. 37 Apart from Smith and colleagues 47 and Capello (when those different abnormalities had not yet been identified and classified), 33 elodontoma has not been reported in the prairie dog.…”

The order Rodentia comprises more than 2000 species divided into 3 groups based on anatomic and functional differences of the masseter muscle. Myomorph and sciuromorph species have elodont incisors and anelodont cheek teeth, unlike hystrichomorph species which have full anelodont dentition. Diseases of incisors and cheek teeth of rat-like and squirrel-like rodents result in a wide variety of symptoms and clinical signs. Appropriate diagnostic testing and imaging techniques are required to obtain a definitive diagnosis, formulate a prognosis, and develop a treatment plan. A thorough review of elodontoma, odontoma, and pseudo-odontoma is provided, including treatment of pseudo-odontomas in prairie dogs.

“…The use of a metal stent has been reported. 46 The stent can be removed or exchanged for a smaller one a few weeks postoperatively to keep the skin from closing over the bony rhinostomy opening. Advantages include short anesthesia and surgery time, simplicity, rapid recovery, and quick improvement of respiratory symptoms.…”

Objectives To describe the health disorders seen in captivity in 206 pet prairie dogs. Materials and Methods Review of medical records of pet prairie dogs that were presented to a veterinary clinic in the period January 2002 to December 2011. Results The most frequent diseases were respiratory (28.2%), dental (25.2%), integumentary (22.3%) and digestive (19.4%). The most common clinical disorders were rhinitis, elodontoma, hypothermia, gastrointestinal stasis, diarrhoea, obesity and gastrointestinal tympany. Clinical Significance This listing of clinical diseases will help clinicians focus their disease investigation and increase clinical awareness of prairie dog diseases. There was a high rate of poor or unsuitable husbandry and this was often associated with clinical disease. Of the diseases seen commonly in this study, only elodontoma has been previously reported as being common.

“…A common disease in prairie dog dentistry is pseudo-odontoma formation that has reported in patients aged between 2 and 6 years. 4 Pseudo-odontoma is considered as an odontogenic dysplasia in ageing rodents and lagomorphs, which is defined as disorganized tissue proliferation and dysplastic differentiation of odontogenic elements, including odontogenic epithelium, enamel matrix, dentin, cementum, and dental pulp formation of the continuously erupting incisor teeth. 5 Odontogenic tissue is continuously deposited in the apical area of the affected elodont incisor, causing remodeling and disruption of the alveolar bone.…”

“…Therefore mandibular pseudo-odontomas are rarely clinically significant. 4,7,10 Conventional radiography is a widespread technique for assessment of dental structures in rodents, 16,17 and reliably shows marked structural changes but are not adequate for distinguishing early cheek tooth pathology or the effects on adjacent tissues in chinchillas. 18 Computed tomography is also useful for noninvasive screening of the dentition of rabbits, chinchillas, and guinea pigs, 16,19 enabling detection of pathologic changes before they become clinically evident.…”

Maxillary incisor pseudo-odontomas are common in pet prairie dogs and can cause progressive respiratory obstruction, while mandibular pseudo-odontomas are rarely clinically significant. The aim of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to describe CT features of maxillary and mandibular incisor pseudo-odontomas vs. normal incisors in a group of pet prairie dogs. All pet prairie dogs with head CT scans acquired during the period of 2013-2015 were included. A veterinary radiologist who was aware of final diagnosis reviewed CT scans and recorded qualitative features of affected and normal incisors. Mean density values for the pulp cavity and palatal and buccal dentin were also recorded. A total of 16 prairie dogs were sampled (12 normal maxillary incisors, 20 confirmed maxillary incisor pseudo-odontomas, 20 normal mandibular incisors, 12 presumed mandibular incisor pseudo-odontomas). Maxillary incisors with confirmed pseudo-odontomas had a significantly hyperattenuating pulp and dentin in the reserve crown and apical zone, when compared to normal maxillary incisors. Pseudo-odontomas appeared as enlargements of the apical zone with a globular/multilobular hyperattenuating mass formation haphazardly arranged, encroaching on midline and growing caudally and ventrally. Presumed mandibular incisor pseudo-odontomas had similar CT characteristics. In 60% of prairie dogs with maxillary incisor pseudo-odontomas, the hard palate was deformed and the mass bulged into the oral cavity causing loss of the palatine bone. The common nasal meatus was partially or totally obliterated in 81.8% of prairie dogs with maxillary pseudo-odontomas. Findings supported the use of CT for characterizing extent of involvement and surgical planning in prairie dogs with pseudo-odontomas.
