This is a lateral view of 9-year-old horse’s teeth. The shape of the incisors and the occlusal surfaces distinguish the 9-year-old. The central incisors are round, and they have a distinct dental star in the center. The intermediate incisors are becoming round and the corners are oval. The seven-year-hook usually has disappeared from the upper corner incisors by the ninth year.
