Equine maxilar molar exodontia by repulsion: description of two different surgical techniques
Keywords:
Extraction, repulsion, neuroleptanalgesia, molar, exodontiaAbstract
Two modifications of the technique for molar exodontia by repulsion are described. Each clinical case had the first maxilar molar on the left side (tooth number 209) extracted using one of the two modifications. Each surgical procedure was performed by a different veterinary surgeon. Both procedures, although similar, differed in equipment used, surgical approach and postoperative care. The surgical procedure in both patients was performed with the horse in the standing position under the effect of neuroleptanalgesia and nerve block techniques. The described modifications to the exodontia technique and the proper knowledge of the regional anatomy, reduced the range of probable complications and caused a prompt recovery of the patients. The clinical evolution of the mare undergoing the least invasive technique had a shorter recovery time, less postoperative complications and better cosmetical results.Downloads
