Abstract:BackgroundCheek teeth (second through fourth premolars and first through third molars) diastema is a common and painful equine disorder caused by the absence of effective tight interdental contact between these teeth. Limited objective information is available on the angulation of equine cheek teeth that control dental drift or on mesial or distal equine cheek teeth drift that should normally prevent this disorder.ObjectivesTo measure the angulation of the mesial and distal cheek teeth in horses of different a… Show more
“…The aims of this retrospective review by Tiziana Liuti and co‐workers in the UK were to measure the angulation of the mesial and distal cheek teeth , quantify age‐related cheek teeth mesial and distal dental drift , and measure the cheek teeth row length in horses of different ages .…”
