Cusp
The maxillary canine is made up of four ridges, these are:
Mesial cusp ridge
Distal cusp ridge

Middle 1/3
From a facial view of a maxillary canine, the distal arm is _______ compared to the mesial arm
More convex
From a facial view of a maxillary canine- why is the distal profile more convex than the mesial profile:
Due to a more rounded distoincisal angle
