Canines Flashcards
What is the shape of the canine crowns from the facial aspect?
Pentagon Shaped
From the facial view, which are shorter the mesial ridge or the distal ridge?
Mesial ridges are shorter
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
Lingual
Canine roots are wider in what dimension
Wider faciolingually than mesiodistally
When bent, roots more often bend toward which direction?
Distal
Are roots longer than crown?
Roots are considerably longer than crown.
Mesial and distal marginal ridge converge toward what?
Toward the cingulum
Cervical lines on the facial and lingual surfaces make what kind of curve toward the apex?
Form a convex curve
Proximal cervical lines make what kind of curve toward the incisal. Which proximal side has a more pronounced curve?
Form a convex curve toward the incisal.
Mesial side has a more pronounced convex curve than the distal surface.
What is the shape made by canine when viewed from the proximal?
Wedge-shape
Facial and lingual crests of curvature are located where?
Located in the cervical 1/3
Lingual canine outlines are āsā shaped with a [blank] lingual fossa and [blank] cingulum.
concave lingual fossa
convex cingulum
From the incisal view, facial outlines form what kind of curve compared to lingual outline?
form a less convex (broader) curve
When comparing the mesiodistal dimension of the maxillary canine to the mandibular canine, which is bigger?
Maxillary canine is a bigger in mesiodistal dimension.
This type of tooth has mesial crown contours convex to flat cervically.
Maxillary canine
This type of tooth has its mesial crown contours more in line with contour of the root.
Mandibular canine

105 degrees
What is angle of the cusp slopes for mandibular canines?
120 degrees
Which tooth has lingual ridges with mesial and distal fossae that are less prominent?
Mandibular canine
Which type of canine has large centered mesiodistal cingulum?
Maxillary canine
Which canine has slightly distal cingulum?
Mandibular canine
Which tooth has incisal ridges that are straighter mesiodistally?
Maxillary canine
On which tooth does the distal cusp ridge bends distolingually from the incisal view?
Mandibular canine
Which tooth has the distal half of its crown noticeably compressed faciolingually?
Maxillary canine
Where is cusp tip located for a maxillary canine in relation to the root axis line?
labial to the root axis line
Where is the cusp tip located for a mandibular canine in relation to the root axis line?
Lingual to the root axis line
