– are cornerstones of the arch
canines
canines are – in form with characteristics intermediate between anterior and posterior teeth
transitional

crown length
mand canine > max central > max canine
What is the only dimension of the mandibular canine that is greater than that of the maxillary canine?
crown length
which canine has a long/slender crown?
mand
which canine has a more dev lingual anatomy
max
cusp tip is facial to root axis
maxillary canine
ideal gingival margins: symmetrical
canine > central > lateral (in height)
bulky crown with prominent ridges
max canine
well developed lingual anatomy
max canine
Max canine is asymmetric
mesial = anterior distal = posterior
long narrow crown with smooth lingual surface
mand canine
mesial cusp ridge shorter than distal cusp ridge
mand canine
MI cusp ridge shorter than DI cusp ridge
max canine
from labial aspect, distal outline is shorter incisocervically and more rounded than mesial outline
max canine
prominent labial ridge with M and D dev depressions
max canine
marked convergence of MRs –> prominent cingulum on lingual surface
max canine
lingual ridge with shallow M and D lingual fossae
max canine
from labial aspect, M and D margins are more parallel
mand canine
flatter labial surface
mand canine
