The exterior of the horse . urposeof examining the anterior face of the teeth, it is evident that nothing abnormalcan be seen ; if, on the contrary, he opens the mouth, it may happen that he stillmay not recognize the accidental use, or that, even if recognized, it may not beattributed to cribbing, but be considered simply as a dental anomaly. This wear is manifested in this variety by a bevel converging towards theside of the lips, whose obliquity is directed in the same sense as the curve of theposterior face of the incisors, while in the preceding cases the bevel was directedin an inverse sense, which rendered it much more apparent. Nevertheless, theobserver who has been forewarned will never fail to perceive very easily the i)0s-terior bevel of which we speak, but he will not forget that it is always lessapparent below than above, in consequence of the greater curvature of the supe-rior incisors. It may be added that this sort of wear is more commonly observed in IRREGULARITIES OF THE DENTAL APPARATUS. 755 A. Fig. 326.—Abnormal wear produced by cribbing. 756 THE EXTERIOR OF THE HORSE. A
