The examination is the foundation of veterinary medical practice and a detailed oral examination is needed to identify dental abnormalities. Radiographic imaging allows the veterinarian to access both the intraoral and intra-alveolar portions of the tooth and surrounding structures. The complete dental evaluation utilizing both modalities is often essential in formulating a tentative diagnosis and an informed treatment plan.
