“…Data related to the infl uence of dental problems on feed digestibility have been published (SCHUMACHER & MAIR, 1986;DIXON & DACRE, 2005;PAGLIOSA, 2006;SCRUTCHFIELD, 2006;EASLEY, 2011) and justify the need to restrict feeding due to excessive weight gain following dental intervention reported by owners in 48 (65.2%) horses in this study. According to TAMZALI (2006) as regards the types of disease diagnosed, virtually all possible causes of weight loss were represented, with a high prevalence of dental (20%) disorders.…”

“…Confi ned horses, which have no access to pasture do not use the incisor teeth for shearing, and this may lead to incisor overgrowth because of the lack of attrition and which causes malocclusion over time due to reduced wear of dental occlusion surfaces and restricted range of mandibular excursion. Given the maintenance of rate of eruption, the incisors become excessively long and interfere with normal grinding and masticatory function of molars and premolars (SCHUMACHER & MAIR, 1986;RUCKER, 2006;DIXON & DACRE, 2005;EASLEY, 2011).…”

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a relação entre parâmetros clínicos e oclusais e a necessidade de redução de dentes incisivos de equinos. Este estudo foi baseado na análise retrospectiva dos odontogramas de 75 cavalos estabulados. Foram analisados o escore corpóreo, o formato dos incisivos, a presença de disfagia, a extensão da excursão lateral da mandíbula no ponto de início do contato molar (ELCM) antes e após o ajuste oclusal molar / pré-molar (M/PM). Foram considerados os históricos de difi culdades de equitação, problemas digestórios e mastigatórios. O exame inicial revelou anormalidade de oclusão em 45 (60%) equinos e incisivos longos (ELCM>15mm) em 5(6,6%

“…W stanie fizjologicznym krawędzie zębów szczęki i żuchwy ustawione są równo względem siebie, dzięki czemu następuje ich równo-mierne wzajemne ścieranie się (5). Jeśli zęby ścierają się nieprawidłowo, może to prowadzić do bolesnych skaleczeń błony śluzowej w obrębie jamy ustnej, co obserwuje się przede wszystkim przy anomaliach dotyczących zębów przedtrzonowych i trzonowych (1,6,8,19). Wady takie, jak: haki, ostre krawędzie czy nadmiernie wyrastające zęby poddaje się tarnikowaniu.…”

SummaryThe goal of this study was to determine the frequency of anomalies in incisor teeth depending on the horse's age, sex, diet, diseases and floating frequency. A total of 255 horses from three Polish voivodeships, KuyavianPomeranian, Greater Poland and Upper Silesia, were examined. The testing of incisor teeth was non-invasive and protocol-based. The most common defects were sharp edges of incisors in the maxilla and mandible, as well as a shortened mandible in relation to the maxilla. A relationship was proved between incisor anomalies and the horses' age, floating frequency and bad habits. Anomalies of incisors are a common problem in horses in Poland, but they do not cause serious problems in the use of these animals.
