RESUMO

The study of anatomy is important to accomplish any kind of surgical and medical procedure and to understand the physiology and the diseases that happen in animals. Nowadays, veterinary dentistry is an important area of veterinary medicine which has been increasing and improving during the last years. However, currently, the veterinarian can not find any specific and exclusive literature about head anatomy of dogs and cats. It is therefore important to perform a study of the bones of the cranium, specially the bones of the stomatognathic system, including the temporomandibular joint, describing and illustrating the most important structures and correlating this knowledge with the surgical procedures. This paper serves the veterinarians that work with dentistry as a "guide". The illustrations and the radiographs were made with macerated craniums of dogs and cats and had the structures identified according to the surgical necessities.
