15-Year-Old Horse's Bottom Teeth

15-Year-Old Horse’s Bottom Teeth

This is an illustration of a 15-year-old horse's bottom teeth with the horse's mouth open.

This is a view of the 15-year-old horse’s bottom teeth with the mouth open. The Galvayne’s groove should extend approximately halfway down the labial surface of the corner incisor on the 15-year-old horse. The central incisor should be triangular in shape, with the intermediates round to triangular. The dental star in the center should be almost round in shape on all of the incisor occlusal surfaces.
