==Functional Anatomy==
*The gingival crevice is an important site for disease processes in mouth to begin.
*In ruminants and rodents [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] may fail to oppose properly or to allow side to side movement of jaws. This produces uneven wear (especially in horse). Sharp edges are produced on the outside of the [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] in the upper jaw and inside of the [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] in the lower jaw, which causes painful feeding and inanition (not eating).
**Approximately 75% of wasting horses have dental abnormalities.
*This is not a problem in carnivores as do they not use [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] for [[Mastication|mastication]].
*If a [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] is lost the opposing [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] may become very long and stop mouth closing properly.
**Seen mostly in rodents - [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] may even penetrate through [[Lips|lip]].
