French term

mouvements de diduction

French to English Other Livestock / Animal Husbandry horse dentistry
Translation of equine management software. I have no more context I'm afraid, except that the term is in a module for horses' health checks. I presume it is something to do with teeth movement when chewing, but I'm looking for a technical dentistry term.

diduction movements

The diduction movements are movements of the jaw against the jaw in a lateral direction (called "movements of introduction") so that the molars can perfectly grind the food.
We therefore speak of a type of chewing.
