  • Equine Science

Background:

  • Equine dental anatomy and development are crucial for practitioners.
  • Accurate age estimation in horses is important for various applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of dental knowledge for equine age estimation.
  • To highlight the use of permanent teeth changes for aging horses.

Main Methods:

  • Observational study of changes in permanent equine teeth.
  • Correlation of dental morphology with age.

Main Results:

  • Permanent equine teeth exhibit continuous changes in shape and appearance.
  • These dental alterations can be used to estimate a horse's age.
