A Review of Diagnosis, Treatment, and Sequelae of Incisor-Luxation Fractures in Horses (From a Dentist’s Viewpoint)
نویسنده
چکیده
From a dental viewpoint, incisor-luxation fractures in horses are fraught with complexities. Luxation fractures are defined as the dislocation of a tooth out of its alveolus without being totally avulsed from the mouth. These are dental emergencies with far-reaching implications. The periodontal and endodontic survival of the involved teeth depends on how these cases are handled. Owners should be made aware of the chronic nature of problems associated with these fractures, especially in young horses with unerupted permanent incisors.
