Dentistry Lectures At The 2021 AAEP Meeting - #041 The Horse's Advocate Podcast

The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) held its annual meeting last month, offering a section on the current state of equine dentistry.

There were eight lectures and a panel discussion. I report here what they said in each lecture and then add my commentary and interpretations on how it applies to horses from an owner's perspective.

1. How to Perform a Thorough Oral Examination
2. How to Obtain Diagnostic Dental Radiographs
3. How to Recognize and Evaluate Periodontal Disease
4. Equipment and Treatment of Periodontal Disease
5. How to Recognize and Manage Age-Related Dental Problems in Geriatric Patients
6. How to Refer: What to Obtain, Gather, and Share for a Consultation or Referral
7. How to Perform Minimally Invasive Sinoscopy
8. How to Identify and Extract Blind Wolf Teeth
9. Panel Discussion

I am still trying to understand what they can now offer with detailed examinations (digital X-rays, CT scans, and Sinoscopy) that advance the health of horse teeth more than reasonable, regular and routine care. You be the judge.
