Abstract
The present paper reveals a clinical study made on 383 horses, Romanian Semigreu full-breed and half breed, on a period of 3 years (2007-2009).The purpose of this study was the identification of dental disorders from the incisors level. From the total number of horses, at 84 subjects we identify disorders at the superior and inferior level of incisors .The equines from the present study were feed with fibrous, concentrated food and grazing. The dental disorders were defined trough 39 cases with dental scale, 24 cases with irregular or excessive blunt, 21 cases with incomplete dental fracture, 13 cases with superficial or profound caries. In those cases, at the soft tissue level, we identify 31 cases with chronic hiperplastic gingivitis, 12 cases with acute gingivitis , 5 cases with gingival hyperplasia and 4 cases with gingival ulcer. The incidence of the lesions and pathological processes is larger in case of superior incisors in both soft and hard tissue.
