In equine dentistry, the physiological incisor occlusal surface is visually perceived as a plane with distinct inclination to head’s coronal plane, extending rostro-ventrally caudo-dorsally. To better understand formation of this inclined and its connection dental wear, we investigated hypothesis that it arises from masticatory movements considerable distance between mandibular articular heads ...

Stability of the intercuspal position and red...
