canines Flashcards
number of canines
4 in total, 1 in each quadrant
numbering of canine
13,23,33,43
6,11,22,27 (universal)
calcification initiation, completion of enamel, eruption, eruption seq
permanent canine time line
mx and mn canine ini of calc 4-5m
completion of enamel 6-7y
eruption mx canine: 11-12 y
eruption mn canine: 9-10 y
root completion mx canine: 13-15 y
root completion mn canine:12-14y
mx canine erupts after both premolars have erupted
mn canine erupts after mn lateral incisor
both permanent canines erupt after first molar eruption
canine dimension
both mx and mn canine have root length > crown length
faciolingual dimension greater than mesiodistal dimension
incisocervical > mesiodistal dimension
Incisocervical> faciolingual dimension
facial view
crown outline form
Pentagonal
facial view
cusp location
cusp tip is inline with the long axis of the root bisector (recall waxup one of the classmates did this) aka md centre for both mn and mx canines
cusp ridge
mesioincisal cusp ridge < distoincisal cusp ridge for both mn and mx canines
facial view
mi di angles
mx canine: mi di angles are 90-100 deg
mn canine: mi di angles are arnd 120 deg
there’s a tendency to have concavity at the mx canine
in both mn and mx canines: mi is sharper than di
both mx and mn facial view
prox contacts
mx canine: mesial prox contact is in incisal third centred FL ovoid with greater IC dimension
distal prox contact is in mid third, circular centred FL due to the greater convexity of distal surface
mn canine: mesial and distal prox contacts are in incisal third centred FL, ovoid with greater IC dimension
mx and mn
cervical line form / cej (may not be cej)
convex, evenly curved toward root
mx and mn facial view
distal crown root alignment / bulge
mx canine has more substantial tooth structure extending distally beyond root than mn canine
mx and mn facial view
distal cervical crown form
distal surface is slightly concave in cervical third
occlusal contacts of mx canine
mesial cusp ridge occludes w mn canine
distal cusp ridge occludes w mn first premolar
occlusal contacts of mn canine
mesial: mx lateral incisor
distal: mx canine
crown outline forms
facial: pentagonal
incisal: asymmetric diamond
mesial: triangular
mx and mn
facial ridge
mx:facial ridge is prominent as middle lobe has more development than mesial and distal lobes
mn: facial ridge is not prominent
