The equine dentition (hypsodont) develops differently from that
of humans and small animals (brachydont) yet many of the principles
of general dentistry are applicable to the equine species. Some
are not.
Dr Klugh and his contributing authors identify, apply and evaluate
the principles of equine dentistry in relation to the horse—their
similarities and differences. Such a system is of value in terms
of vocabulary, biology and disease process.
The book’s coverage ranges from anatomy, biomechanics and examination
to radiology, anaesthesia, trauma, disease and restoration. Top
quality colour photographs and diagrams illustrate the text throughout.
Principles of Equine Dentistry will be of value to equine dentists,
equine practitioners, instructors and trainees, and to veterinary
students.
