In the past, the treatment of choice consisted of extraoral techniques, with complications occurring in up to 70% of cases. With advances in the treatment of dental disease in other species, oral extraction may offer a less invasive alternative, possibly associated with fewer complications. This report describes the diagnosis, treatment and long\u2010term outcome of NWC with dental disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a retrospective study of NWC with advanced dental disease undergoing oral cheek tooth extraction between September 2020 and November 2024.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty animals (20 alpacas and 20 llamas) undergoing oral extraction of one to four cheek teeth (median: 2, interquartile range: 1.1\u20132.9) were included. Eleven animals (27.5%) experienced complications. Most of these complications were mild, primarily consisting of tooth root fractures. The mean follow\u2010up duration was 24.1\u00a0months (standard deviation = 16.5\u00a0months). At the final follow\u2010up,\u00a092.1% (35\/38) of animals exhibited resolution of clinical signs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Retrospective nature of study and large variation in severity of dental pathologies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Oral extraction of cheek teeth in NWC is a feasible alternative to extraoral approaches and carries a favourable prognosis.
