canine
longest teeth in mouth
Transitional form (and function) between incisors and premolars
Maxillary Canine
Four Developmental Lobes (3F/1L)

Transitional form and function
mandib canine
Four Developmental Lobes
mandib canine
roots curve
distally(canine)
tf in canines distal crown contours are usually less rounded than the mesial
f
distal crown contours are usually more rounded than the mesial
tf canine distal contact areas appear more gingivally positioned
t
tf max canine
Cusp tip in line with center of crown but mesial to center of the root
f
Cusp tip in line with center of root but mesial to center of the crown
max canine(facial)
concave b/n cervical line and contact area
tf max canine–>Mesial cusp ridge (slope) is shorter than the distal
t
longer and Central sl. wider M-D
than incisors
max canine
slightly convex vs. very convex
Mesial vs distal
max canine
concavity on
distal max canine
tf–> max canine–>Prominent facial ridge (middle lobe) sl. distal to center
f
Prominent facial ridge (middle lobe) sl. mesial to center
longest root of any tooth
max canine
distal outline straighter than mesial outline
max canine
max canine
apical third–slight distal inclination
max canine
smooth convex facial surface
