ABSTRACT
The use of swine in dental and neurologic research has been relatively uncommon, probably because of the anatomy of the head, neck, and oral cavity (Figures 10.1 through 10.10). The skull in Figures 10.3 through 10.10 is from a sexually mature boar. Its use in oral and maxillofacial surgery has recently increased (Bermejo et al., 1993; Bredbenner and Haug, 2000; Cheung et al., 2007; Curtis et al., 2001; Donovan et al., 1993; Drisko et al., 1996; Navarro et al., 2007; North, 1988; Oltramari et al., 2007; Ouhayoun et al., 1992; Ruehe et al., 2009; Sims et al., 1997; Wang et al., 2007). Detailed surgical anatomy of the porcine facial structures has been published (Sasaki et al., 2010). Colored histologic sections are contained on the textbook DVD.
