The oral examination is performed in equids to assess and monitor oral health status, provide diagnoses, and determine efficacy of treatments. While there is currently insufficient scientific material of adequate quality to enable evidence-based medicine in equine dentistry, this by no means negates the clinician's responsibility to provide oral health care in a scientific and ethical manner. To do so requires that the clinician be knowledgable and skilled in dentistry and general medicine, that each case upholds the principles of scientific method, and that data is gathered and appraised in an objective, precise, consistent, uniform, and reliable manner.
对口蹄疫动物进行口腔检查，以评估和监测口腔健康状况、提供诊断并确定治疗效果。虽然目前没有足够高质量的科学资料来支持马牙科的循证医学，但这绝不能否定临床医生以科学和道德的方式提供口腔保健的责任。要做到这一点，临床医生需要具备牙科和普通医学方面的知识和技能，每个病例都要坚持科学方法的原则，并且要以客观、精确、一致、统一和可靠的方式收集和评估数据。
