Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hyperplasia

Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hyperplasia (EOTRH) is a multifactorial condition that results in problems mainly around the incisors and canines (front teeth) of the horse. This is a very painful condition that deteriorates over time. The condition is mostly seen in middle to older aged horses around 17+ years old, however it has been seen in younger horses.
