Taking into account the large number of individuals of Oncillas (_Leopardus tigrinus_) and Jaguarundis (_Puma yagouaroundi_) in captive, this study aimed to promote clinical findings of each specie oral lesions; and dental computed tomography of it. A total of 12 captive individuals of the specie _Leopardus tigrinus_ and 9 individuals of the specie _Puma yagouaroundi_ from the "Quinzinho de Barros" Municipal Zoo - PZMQB Sorocaba - SÆo Paulo, have been evaluated. After general anesthesia, these individuals underwent a general physical examination, oral examination, documentation of clinical findings in veterinary dental records and photographic documentation. Both species have presented a high incidence of oral lesions, with the most common lesions found periodontal disease, tooth wear and fracture. After this initial evaluation, the individuals underwent Computed Tomography (CT) scans of the mandible and maxilla. CT images were evaluated and were performed to measure the mandibular and maxillary bone structures. The results show that the average all measurements were higher in _Puma yagouaroundi_. |
