Two horses were presented with problems during ridden exercise due to a firm, sensitiveswelling at the level of the cheek adjacent to an upper Triadan 06. Oral, radiographic andcomputed tomographic examinations (n=1) identified the presence of a palatal supernumerarytooth being the causing factor of a buccally displaced 06. In both cases, the supernumerarytooth was extracted on the standing sedated horse. A couple of months following extraction,the buccally displaced tooth had spontaneously moved into a more physiological position dueto orthodontic forces of the cheek and masticatory forces. Both horses uneventfully returned toridden work without further problems.
