Abstract
SUMMARY Objective To determine the frequency of supernumerary teeth in Greyhounds. Animals 55 Greyhounds obtained anonymously from a variety of breeders. Procedure Greyhounds were examined for the presence of supernumerary teeth. Results Supernumerary teeth were present in 20 of 55 (36.4%) Greyhounds surveyed. Conclusions Location of supernumerary teeth, usually first premolars, is not random, but favors occurrence in the upper arcade. Occurrence of supernumerary teeth did not favor the left or right side. Clinical Relevance Because an increasing number of veterinary anatomy textbooks use Greyhounds as typical examples, it is important to note the high frequency of supernumerary teeth.
