Intro: Equine Dentistry w/ Dr. Molly Rice

Periodontal disease, fractured and infected cheek teeth, and EOTRH are common, progressive, and routinely missed without a systematic oral examination and intraoral radiography — diagnostics that go well beyond routine floating. This 2-hour course covers the complete equine oral examination and dental radiograph technique that supports accurate diagnosis in everyday practice. Taught by Dr. Molly Rice, DVM, DAVDC-Eq, one of a small number of board-certified equine dental specialists in the country.

Agenda · Saturday, June 13, 2026

Two sessions, taught in sequence

Two 1-hour lectures. 2.0 CE hours.

10:00 AM· 1.0 Hour

Dental Anatomy and Advanced Oral Examination

The five-component equine oral exam under sedation. Speculum selection and positioning. Lighting (headlamp vs. intraoral light vs. mirror deflection). Oral mirrors and rigid endoscopy for caudal visualization. Triadan numbering, occlusal anatomy of incisors and cheek teeth, aging by dentition. Dental charting that supports treatment planning and stands up in a record review. Case-based examples showing how a complete exam catches what a quick float would miss.

  • Perform the five-component equine oral exam using appropriate sedation and equipment
  • Apply Triadan numbering and dental anatomy terminology accurately in charting
  • Build a dental chart that supports diagnosis, treatment planning, and medical record standards
  • Identify findings on oral exam that warrant imaging or referral

11:00 AM· 1.0 Hour

Acquiring and Interpreting Diagnostic Equine Dental Radiographs

Positioning for incisors, rostral cheek teeth, caudal cheek teeth, and TMJ. Technique parameters that yield diagnostic films on a standing sedated horse. The common positioning and exposure errors that produce nondiagnostic studies. Reading films for apical infection, tooth fracture, resorptive disease (EOTRH), periodontal bone loss, and developmental abnormalities. Tips and case examples from Dr. Rice's referral caseload.

  • Acquire diagnostic dental radiographs of each functional region in a standing horse
  • Identify common technique errors and correct them
  • Interpret radiographic findings for apical infection, fracture, resorption, and periodontal disease
  • Pair oral exam findings with radiographic confirmation to build a treatment plan

Practical Takeaways for Your Practice

The Five-Component Oral Exam

The AVDC-standard equine oral exam (extraoral, intraoral soft tissue, dental, occlusal, and periodontal) done under proper sedation, speculum, and lighting. The order of operations that keeps findings consistent across farm calls and gives you a chart that holds up in a medical record review.

Triadan Numbering and Occlusal Anatomy

The dental anatomy refresher practitioners actually retain. Triadan numbering you can use at the chairside, the occlusal surface features that define normal vs. abnormal, aging by dentition, and how to describe what you see in terms a referral specialist can follow.

Diagnostic Equine Dental Radiography

Positioning technique for each functional region, the kVp and mAs starting points that produce a readable film on a standing sedated horse, and the common technique errors that make a film nondiagnostic. How to spot apical infection, fractures, resorption, and periodontal bone loss once you have a film worth reading.

Correlating Exam and Imaging

A diastema you see on oral exam may or may not show periodontal bone loss radiographically, and that distinction changes the treatment plan. Rice walks through pairing visual findings with radiographic confirmation to build plans that aren't guesses.

Course Abstract

Live Online Interactive Webinar • Case-Based • Sponsor-Free

The float is the last step, not the whole visit. Every equine dental presentation that gets missed (the fractured cheek tooth, the early diastema packing feed, the EOTRH starting at the corner incisors) gets missed because nobody did a real oral exam first.

Dr. Rice runs her Whitewater/Elkhorn referral practice and chairs the AVDC Equine Exam Committee. Her introductory session is built around the five-component oral exam and the radiographic workup that confirms the diagnosis. Part one walks dental anatomy the way you need it to chart and describe pathology: Triadan numbering, occlusal surface geometry, aging by dentition, and the systematic five-component oral exam under sedation with speculum, lighting, mirrors, and oral endoscope. Part two is equine dental radiography: positioning for the four functional regions (incisors, cheek teeth rostral, cheek teeth caudal, TMJ), technique parameters that actually yield diagnostic films, and the pathology patterns you'll learn to read.
