Equine Dental Developmental Abnormalities
نویسنده
چکیده
Abnormalities of dental development and eruption occur quite commonly in the horse and result in a wide range of clinical conditions. A congenital/developmental problem present at the time of tooth eruption often leads to acquired dental problems as the teeth continue to erupt and wear. Consequently, several different dental abnormalities whose pathogenesis may be inter-related, are often present at the time of clinical presentation.

Dental disease and its prevention and treatment comprises approximately 10% of the general equine practitioner’s work. The most common disease affecting the equine hypsodont teeth is the development of dental overgrowths. Brachydont dentition (canines and wolf teeth) are less often diagnosed with dental disease. Gingivitis and periodontal disease as seen in many young horses can affect any toot...
