Abstract

NAVAS-APARICIO, María del Carmen et al. Practical guide for dissection and identification of anatomical structures of the face in pigs. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2013, vol.35, n.2, pp.69-73. ISSN 2173-9161.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.maxilo.2012.06.007.

Research using experimental animal models is a tool that enables knowledge to be acquired before it is applied in human beings. Clinical guidelines are needed when starting experimental research work on animals. The purpose of this paper is to present an illustrative guide to the dissection of the most important facial structures in pigs, so that it can serve as a basis for future experimental works.
