Abstract

The canine teeth of the mature ferret have closed apices. They are easily accessible for operating purposes and are sufficiently large, allowing con- ventional cavity preparation techniques to be prepared using ordinary den- tal instruments. Handling of the ferret is relatively easy since it becomes quite tame after a period of time. The body weight in male is greater and the teeth larger than those of the female. The cost of purchase and main- tenance of the ferret is also inexpensive. For all these reasons, the ferret male is animal of choice in dental experiments.
