Q

what is canine guidance

A

a means of protection for the other teeth. It protects the posterior teeth from potentially damaging horizontal forces by being the first points of contact as you move your jaw laterally. It causes the mouth to open wider and avoid collision of the posterior teeth

Q

Why do we often say that canines are “self cleansing”

A

because they are strong teeth that lack pits and grooves. so they are often the last teeth to have catastrophic decay

is the maxillary canine symmetrical from the incisal view

A

no

49
Q

if the cusp tip on the maxillary canine is mesial to the center of the root, what does that mean for the cusp ridges

A

that the mesial cusp ridges is shorter

50
Q

from the incisal view what does the crown outline look like on the maxillary canine

A

it is a series of four arcs

51
Q

from the incisal view how does the incisal edge line up on the maxillary canine

A

the incisal edge is straight mesiodistally, and it bisects the proximal arcs (points of greatest convexity)

52
Q

with what does the cingulum of the maxillary canine coincide

A

the root position

yes

57
Q

the taper towards the apex of the maxillary canine is greater on the facial side or the lingual side

the lingual side

58
Q

what are the universal numbers for the mandibular canines

A

22, 27

59
Q

why does the mandibular canine seem longer (incisocervically) than the maxillary canine
