Resumen
The control of oral lesions contributes to the health, survival and well-being of captive
animals, this study aimed to investigate the occurrence of oral diseases in wild
animals kept in the zoo UFMT . We evaluated 32 oral cavities of 11 different species
in the period July 2012 to April 2013, being 12 coatis (Nasua Nasua) , 3 raccoons
(Procyon cancrivorus) , 2 maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) , 6 crab-eating fox
(Cerdocyon thous), 1 fox (Pseudalopex vetulus), 3 ocelot (Leopardus pardalis), 1
cougar (Puma concolor) , 3 wild cats (Puma yaguaroundi , Leopardus wiedii ,
Leopardus colocolo) and 1 tayra (Eira barbara). The most frequent lesions were
dental absences 22/32 (68.8%), dental fractures 21/32 (65.6%) and tooth wear 20/32
(62.5%). The greater the age, the greater the number and severity of lesions. Were
also observed periodontal disease, caries, foreign body, orofacial fistula, and
hyperplasia abrasions in soft tissues. The conclusion is thus the need to develop
environmental enrichment and other management practices and improvements in
enclosures to reduce the stress of the captive animals, once these are predisposing
factors for dental traumatic injury, and the maintenance of the diet supplied, which
contributes to the low incidence of periodontal disease
