“…The high prevalence of enamel tips in animals kept on pastures in this study corroborates the findings of Leite et al (2019), who reported a high prevalence of enamel points in horses under extensive farming. These findings suggest that other factors may be involved in the development of these changes, in addition to feeding practices.…”

“…Excessive enamel tips occur mainly because of changes in the eating habits of horses (PAGLIOSA et al, 2006). Enamel tips are the most reported alterations in equine dentistry, with a reported incidence between 44% and 85.1% (BERBARI NETO et al, 2013;LEITE et al, 2019;MELO;FERREIRA, 2023), being more prevalent in horses up to 9 years of age because of the rhizogenesis of permanent teeth (PAGLIOSA et al, 2006). The introduction of concentrated feeds and the reduction in forage supply decrease chewing time and promote more vertical chewing movements, which result in changes in tooth wear.…”

“…Conformations are the major contributors to excessive tooth growth. Discrepancies in the lengths and positions of the mandible and maxilla also contribute to the formation of hooks and ramps (LEITE et al, 2019). Hooks and ramps develop because of the misalignment of the molar arches.…”

“…The general conformation of the dental arches and teeth and the presence of changes in the palate, vestibule, and tongue were observed. The changes were described in a dental oral mapping form following the methodology described by Silva-Meirelles et al ( 2016) and Leite et al (2019). The classifications proposed by Dixon & Dacre (2005) and Easley et al (2016) were used to identify the dental changes.…”

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of dental alterations in 100 young Quarter Horses aged between 6 and 48 months, sourced from various breeding farms. The animals were divided into four age groups: Group I (6–12 months), Group II (12–24 months), Group III (25–36 months), and Group IV (37–48 months). The identified alterations were documented using an oral-dental mapping form. The primary dental changes observed in this study included the presence of excessive dental enamel points, eruption of the first premolar, limited and asymmetrical lateral excursions, buccal or lingual ulcerations, ramps, caudal hooks, rostral hooks, and steps. Among these alterations, excessive dental enamel points were the most commonly observed in the analyzed samples. The high prevalence of enamel points highlights the importance of preventive and intervention strategies to minimize the negative impact of these alterations on oral health and foal development.

Oral and dental diseases are common in horses, as evidenced by the results of incidence studies of dental diseases carried out on abattoir specimens or sports horses. Thus, periodic dental examinations in horses are essential to ensure the maintenance of dental health and proper use of ingested food. A retrospective study of the dental records of 416 Quarter Horses (256 males, 160 females), distributed in the western region of the Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, was conducted. Horses were examined between July 2012 and August 2022. The variables collected were age, sex, type of diet, dental alterations identified, and history of colic in the last 365 days. The animals were divided into three groups according to age: group I (2 to 6 years old), group II (7to12 years old), and group III (13to 24 years old). Pairwise comparisons were performed using Tukey's correction. The most frequent dental alterations were excessive tip of the tooth enamel, limited/asymmetric lateral excussion, oral ulceration, eruption of the first premolar tooth, and rostral hook. Statistical differences (p<0.05) were observed between the age groups in the following alterations: excessive tip of the tooth enamel, limited/asymmetric lateral excussion, eruption of the first premolar tooth, rostral hook, palatitis, step, caudal hook, retention of deciduous cheek teeth, wave, tartarus, underbite, periodontal disease, and incisors of the dorsal curve. Dental disorders in horses are of major clinical importance.

Excessive enamel dental points, resulting from irregular tooth wear, are considered the most frequent disorder in equine dentistry. The objective was to evaluate the oral cavity of traction horses, diagnosing the excessive points of dental enamel on the premolars and molars, identifying the main injuries caused by them and their impacts. The procedures were carried out in the city of Imperatriz - MA, where 40 traction horses were evaluated. Information was collected from the owners, a general physical examination of the animals was carried out, followed by a dental evaluation and an evaluation of the entire oral cavity. The main clinical signs detected as indicative of dental irregularity were refusal of food offered, acceptance of only half of the amount of food provided, food falling out of the mouth during mastication, decreased lateral excursion of the mandible, refusal to use bits and loss of weight. In this way, it becomes evident that the evaluation of the oral cavity of horses is of great importance, since the presence of excessive points of dental enamel can cause lesions in the oral mucosa, which cause pain, alteration of the biomechanics of mastication, discomfort during work, a decrease in performance and, consequently, a decrease in the quality of life of these animals.
