Exotic placental carnivore dentistry.
Dentistry in exotic carnivores is becoming more common as their level of care is enhanced. These cases present many interesting challenges, but adaptation of currently accepted dental procedures, use of newly developed instrumentation, and educated improvisation can handle almost any situation that a practitioner might encounter. It must be kept in mind, however, that there are virtually no medications, medicaments, or drugs that are approved for treatment of the various exotic carnivores. Therefore, the treatments that are discussed in this article should all be considered as "off label" use, and be reviewed closely before being applied to patients.

Nonhuman primate dentistry.
Dental procedures in nonhuman exotic primates present many out of the ordinary problems that are related to variations of the teeth and oral cavity and serious zoonotic considerations and procedural time limitations. Most of these challenges can be met with appropriate knowledge, training, equipment, and rapidity and precision in performance. Unfortunately, alacrity generally comes from repetitive performance of procedures and entails a learning curve.
