Research and clinical understanding of equine dentistry has progressed in recent years; however, specific knowledge about donkey dentistry is lacking. This article intends to revise unique anatomic features of the head and oral cavity of donkeys, as well as how to correctly examine, diagnose, prevent, and/or treat dental pathology, allowing for a better comprehension of oral and dental disorders affecting these animals throughout their life. It also emphasizes that these disorders need to be taken into account when assessing the welfare of donkeys.
近年来，对马牙科的研究和临床认识有了进展；然而，关于驴牙科的具体知识却很缺乏。本文旨在阐述驴头部和口腔的独特解剖特征，以及如何正确检查、诊断、预防和/或治疗牙齿病变，以便更好地理解影响这些动物一生的口腔和牙齿疾病。本文还强调，在评估驴的福利时需要考虑这些疾病。
