Canine
This is part of the canine that is an elevation emanating from a cusp tip which separates the outer countour from the innter countour
Cusp Ridge
On the canine, this is the greatest circumference in a specified plane (the plane is usually the long axis of the tooth)
When viewed mesiodistally, it usually the point of contact
