Once the disease is staged, the practitioner can determine appropriate treatment; accurately prognose; and monitor progress on follow-up examination. Accurate diagnosis is facilitated in many cases by the use of intraoral radiography. Choice of treatment strategy is based on thorough understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathogenesis, and careful characterization of the disease process.

In this study, 4 to 7-month-old Quarter horse foals (n = 51) were examined to determine overjet (horizontal overlap) prevalence and measure the size of the physiological diastemata. Results were analyzed in relation to age, sex, and lineage. Another aim of this study was to develop a simple field technique for measuring incisor malocclusion and physiological diastemata dimensions that could be used to monitor the growth of the rostral components of maxilla, incisive bone, and mandible. The overall prevalence of overjet lesions in these foals was 51%. Females were overrepresented (61.5%). Overjet occurred more commonly in show foals (50% prevalence) than other working (7.7%) and race (42.3%) lineage foals. Significant differences were found between maxillary and mandibular physiological diastemata lengths in foals of all ages and, as expected, there was a positive statistical correlation betw...
