Study Notes

Canine Teeth Characteristics

The canines are the strongest teeth in the mouth.

Stability of Canine Teeth

The canines are the most stable teeth in the mouth due to their large labio-lingual dimension and highly developed middle labial lobe, which forms a strong, well-formed cusp incisally.

Principal Identifying Features of Permanent Maxillary Canine

A developmental depression is present mesially and distally, extending for most of the root length.
The developmental depression is more pronounced distally than mesially on the root.

Mesial Aspect of Permanent Maxillary Canine

The mesial surface of the crown is nearly straight with the mesial surface of the root.
The contact area is located near the mesio-incisal angle.

Incisal Aspect of Permanent Maxillary Canine

The labio-lingual dimension is greater than the mesio-distal dimension.
