ABSTRACT

 

Marzok M, Strommenger W,  Höppner S,  Hertsch B., C-arm fluoroscopy for repulsion of maxillary teeth in horses, Onl J Vet Res., 30 (5): 273-285, 2026.  We applied fluoroscopic guided surgical repulsion of maxillary cheek teeth on 16 horses. By this method, we found no repulsion of teeth, fracture of lateral, medial walls of alveolus, palatine bone or tooth fracture. Horses were hospitalized 22-85 days. However, 2 horses developed postoperative complications during hospitalization but by 12 months, all cases except one, resolved. One horse presented 3 months after, with orosinus fistula and underwent surgery with resolution by 5 weeks.  We find that C-arm fluoroscopy is an effective and safe procedure for extraction of equine cheek teeth.
