Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This Unit is applicable to the equine industry where it may be necessary to perform equine dental services. It requires dentistry practices to be related to equine anatomy and physiology with particular focus on oral structures including dentition. In addition to legal and ethical responsibilities, all Units of Competency in the ACM10 Animal Care and Management Training Package have the requirement for animals to be handled gently and calmly. The individual is required to exhibit appropriate care for animals so that stress and discomfort are minimised.
This Unit of Competency covers anatomy and physiology of the equine head, including oral structures and dentition, and how they relate to general health and in particular, dental conditions and disease.
