Mandibular incisors and canine teeth. Intraoral VD projection of the lower jaw of a 5 years old male alpaca (A) and a 4 years old female llama (C). Chisel-shaped permanent incisors of alpacas and spatula-shaped permanent incisors of llamas with their tapered roots are best visualized in this view. Note the canine teeth of both species are curved. Sagittal para-median MPR reconstructed CT images of the same animals in distal row (B and D) show the incisors anchored in alveolar bone. Sharp tip and apex of the incisors is obviously visualized.
