Sažetak

The purpose of this study was to document abnormalities in premolar and molar teeth detected in a group of 100 equine patients. The oral cavities of standing, sedated horses were examined under field conditions. Clinical dental examinations revealed a high prevalence of premolar and molar tooth lesions, with dental overgrowths present in all the animals. The high prevalence of buccal soft tissue lesions (38%) present in this population was believed to be due to the high prevalence of moderate (72%) and severe (8%) dental overgrowths. Other abnormalities in premolar and molar teeth detected were: focal dental overgrowth (85%), wolf teeth (27%), ramps (12%), deciduous caps (8%), diastemata (4%), worn teeth (7%), shear mouth (1%), wave mouth (2%), step mouth (2%), missing teeth (1%) and fractured teeth (1%). This study showed that many horses had dental disorders without showing any clinical signs.
