Equine dentistry was practiced as long ago as 600 BCE in China, and has long been important as a method of assessing the age of a horse. [1] This was also practiced in ancient Greece, with many scholars making notes about equine dentistry, including Aristotle with an account of periodontal disease in horses in his History of Animals, and in Rome with Vegetius writing about equine dentistry in ...
They address various conditions such as jaw fractures, malocclusions of the teeth, oral cancer, periodontal disease, and unique veterinary conditions like feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions. Additionally, some animals have specialized dental workers like equine dental technicians , who perform routine dental work on horses.
Albuterol increases energy expenditure by 10-15 percent at a therapeutic dose for asthma and around 25 percent at a higher, oral dose. In several human studies, albuterol increased lean body mass, reduced fat mass, and caused lipolysis; it has been studied for use as an anti-obesity and anti-muscle wasting medication when taken orally.

The horse will normally have 24 deciduous teeth, emerging in pairs, and eventually pushed out by the permanent teeth, which normally number between 36 and 40. As the deciduous teeth are pushed up, they are termed "caps". Caps will eventually shed on their own, but may cause discomfort when still loose, requiring extraction.
Salbutamol/budesonide, sold under the brand name Airsupra, is a fixed-dose combination medication for the treatment of bronchoconstriction and asthma. [1] [2] It is a combination of salbutamol sulfate (albuterol sulfate), a short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist, and budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid.
Modified triadan system of dental nomenclature in the horse. The modified triadan system is a scheme of dental nomenclature that can be used widely across different animal species. It is used worldwide among veterinary surgeons. Each tooth is given a three digit number. The first number relates to the quadrant of the mouth in which the tooth lies:
The bite stimulates nociceptors mediated by the trigeminal nerve in the lips, tongue, teeth and bones. [15] The gum is the periosteum, the most sensitive part of the bone. [15] The horse's oral mucosa consists of stratified squamous epithelium (mucosal epithelium) and underlying connective tissue, called the lamina propria. [16]
The horse tongue, similar to that of most mammals, is pink and plays a significant role in taste perception. Its long, narrow shape, characteristic of herbivorous animals, allows the horse to grasp food effectively with the assistance of its lips and teeth. The tongue is sensitive to pressure and temperature and is involved in activities such ...
