Primate order includes around 180 species. Morphological aspects of New World non-
-human primates (NHP) have been extensively investigated since last century. General
commonsense describes oral cavity adaptations according to diet and feeding, dentition,
tongue projection and head shape. Morphological appearance and dimension of the hard
palate have been outstanding as interest in many species including man. Six young Saimiri
sciureus hard palate were investigated. We measured the hard palate distance (HL),
intercanine distance (ICD), intermolar distance (IMD), and interpremolar distance (IPD).
Complete and incomplete palatine crests were quanti ied. We believe that better understanding
of the mouth roof morphology will contribute to improve the management of captive
animal?s diet in order to re-introduce the animals in its habitat. |
