*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).
