Sažetak
Pathological alterations in the permanent tusks of twenty male wild boar are presented. The animals were taken during regular hunting operations in the hunting area ‘ ’ Moslavina’ ’ near Garešnica (18 cases) and in hunting grounds near the Croatian/Bosnian border (Dvor na Uni, 1 case) and in Dalmatia (Vrgorac, 1 case). Tusk alterations comprised complete tusk fracture, trauma during the early stage of tooth development, tusk duplication, tusk malposition, and pulp necrosis. Our findings indicate that the most frequent cause of tusk pathology is trauma to the teeth. We further discuss the significance of such pathology to the wild boar.
