Odontoplasty (floating and occlusal equilibration) is the most commonly performed procedure in equine dentistry. From an anatomic perspective, an irregular occlusal surface, prominent cingula, transverse ridges, and enamel points all contribute to the function, form, and longevity of the equine cheek tooth. With limited reserve crown available and an average functional life range between 18 and 25 years, removal of tooth structure should be conservative. The authors consider a quality oral examination to be the most important dental procedure performed in the horse. Individual tooth evaluation should lead to a specific diagnosis and treatment plan. Tooth odontoplasty should be site-specific.
牙整形术（浮动和咬合平衡）是马牙科中最常进行的手术。从解剖学的角度来看，不规则的咬合面、突出的齿带、横向嵴和釉质点都有助于马颊齿的功能、形态和寿命。由于可用的牙冠储备有限，平均功能寿命在 18 到 25 年之间，因此应保守地去除牙体结构。作者认为，高质量的口腔检查是马匹中最重要的牙科程序。对每颗牙齿的评估应能得出具体的诊断和治疗计划。牙齿牙整形术应该是针对特定部位的。
