Vet Clin North Am Equine Pract. 1998 Aug;14(2):227-45, v. doi: 10.1016/s0749-0739(17)30195-5.

Abstract

Equine practitioners should be knowledgeable of dental anatomy and development to enhance their skill of age estimation of horses. The permanent teeth of horses are continually undergoing changes in shape and appearance. These changes may be used to suggest a reasonable age range for a horse.
