Application of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a Healing Aid after Extraction of Incisors in the Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis Syndrome.

Abstract: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a stress-free, relatively safe method supporting the treatment of many different diseases. Although it is widely used in human medicine (including dentistry), in veterinary medicine, especially in the treatment of horses, there are not many scientifically described and documented cases of its use. Equine Odontoclastic Tooth Resorption and Hypercementosis syndrome is a disease that affects older horses and significantly reduces their quality of life. The only effective treatment for this condition is extraction of the incisors. The described case compares the recovery process of the alveolar area after extraction of incisors during the course of EOTRH syndrome without and with the use of a chamber, in horses with the same clinical picture of the disease, of the same age, and living in the same conditions. According to the authors' knowledge, the presented case describes the use of a chamber in equine dentistry for the first time.

Summary

This study investigates the effectiveness of using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to improve healing after extraction of incisors in horses affected by a dental syndrome known as equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis (EOTRH). The research compares the healing process in horses with EOTRH that received HBOT after tooth extraction to those that did not, concluding that HBOT was beneficial.

What is the Research About?

  • The study focuses on the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a healing aid after the extraction of incisors in horses suffering from equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis (EOTRH).
  • EOTRH is a dental syndrome that reduces the quality of life for many older horses. The primary treatment for it is the extraction of the incisors.
  • Although there are numerous instances where HBOT has been used effectively in human medicine, including dentistry, this research represents one of the few documented instances of its use in veterinary medicine, specifically in equine dentistry.

Methodology of the Research

  • This research employed a comparative methodology to analyze the effectiveness of HBOT.
  • The study compared the recovery process of horses, of the same age, suffering from EOTRH, and living under the same conditions, after the extraction of incisors with and without the use of HBOT.

Significance of the Research

  • This study, according to the researchers, is the first of its kind that explores the use of HBOT in equine dentistry.
  • The results of the study could expand the application of HBOT beyond human medicine and dentistry and into the realm of veterinary medicine, more specifically equine dentistry.
  • The findings also have the potential to improve the quality of life for older horses suffering from EOTRH by offering a potentially effective healing aid post tooth extraction.

A Conclusion of the Research

  • Through its comparative approach, the research suggests that HBOT can be a beneficial healing aid following the extraction of incisors in horses diagnosed with EOTRH.
