Summary:

This presentation will cover the early history of medicine and veterinary medicine and then, the development of equine dentistry as a specialism in the late 1800s and early 1900s, a time when the importance of horses in transport, agriculture, industry, and military use was at its peak.  The development of dental instruments (many designs that are still in use) and published research into dental disorders and treatments at that time will be presented.

The decline in the importance of horses during the first 60 years of the 1900s was accompanied by a total neglect of equine dentistry with a few exceptions including Dr Becker whose work will be summarised. The revival of studies in equine dentistry from the 1980s onwards accompanied the resurgence of horse numbers, now almost exclusively for leisure use.  The limitations of our equine dental knowledge at that time and consequently of dangerous dental procedures will be shown.
