Canine Comparisons Flashcards
Buccal view: crown dimension comparisons
Mesio-distal length greater on maxillary canine
Incisal-cervical length greater on mandibular canine
Buccal view: cusp sharpness comparison
Sharper on maxillary canine
Buccal view: cusp ridge lengths comparison
Mesial cusp ridge is short than distal (BOTH)
Maxillary: M slightly shorter than D
Mandibular: M much shorter than D
Buccal view: comparison of proximal contacts
More cervical on maxillary canines than the incisors proximal contact points
Buccal view: comparison of mesial outline
Maxillary: M crown bulges past root
Mandibular: M outline is straight
Buccal view: compare root lengths
Longer on maxillary canine
Lingual view: cingulum size/location
Less prominent on mandibular canine
More cervical on mandibular canine
Offset to distal on mandibular canine
Lingual view: marginal ridge prominence
Less prominent on mandibular canine
