In which dimensions are the canine crowns bigger?
Faciolingually wider
Canine crown outlines are more convex on what aspect?
Distal aspect
Canine crown outline that are more flat are on what aspect?
Mesial aspect
Mesial contact areas are located in what aspect of the crown?
Incisal 1/3 of the crown and distal contacts are located more cervically
The root of a canine tapers from the cervical line toward the apex from facial toward the

When bent, roots more often bend toward which direction?
Distal
Are roots longer than crown?
Roots are considerably longer than crown.
