Abstract

SummaryPeripheral, infundibular, and occlusal caries can result in significant dental disease affecting the quality of life of the horse. Recognition of dental caries and understanding the grading/classification and treatment options are vital for providing optimal equine oral health care. Accurate grading of dental caries and the recognition of the importance of location on the tooth impacts treatment planning that may or may not include restoration. Restoration of teeth can be performed to reduce dental decay and improve patient comfort. Restoration of teeth requires an armoury of dental restorative equipment and materials, and it is technique sensitive requiring the practitioner to have a deep understanding of dental materials and restorative dentistry. This commentary reviews the types and grading of equine dental decay, case selection for restoration, and the treatment steps for restoration of equine caries.
