Mandibular Canine Crown Width
Mandibular Canine Crown Width
The mandibular canine crown is narrower mesiodistally (from the middle to the sides) and labiolingually (from the front to the back) than the maxillary canine.
Mandibular Canine Crown Height
Mandibular Canine Crown Height
The mandibular canine's crown is slightly taller than the maxillary canine's.
Mandibular Canine Labial Aspect - Cusp Angle
Mandibular Canine Labial Aspect - Cusp Angle
The cusp angle of the mandibular canine is more blunt (less sharp) than that of the maxillary canine.

Study Notes
Mandibular Canine
- Similar to maxillary canines but narrower mesiodistally and labiolingually
- Crown height is slightly longer than maxillary canine
Labial Aspect
- Maxillary Canine:
- Crown wider mesiodistally
- Sharper cusp angle
- Shorter mesial cusp ridge than distal
- Mesial and distal proximal contacts more cervical
- Crown bulges beyond root outline
- More pronounced labial ridge
- Pointed root tip
- Mandibular Canine:
- Crown narrower mesiodistally
- Blunter cusp angle
- Much shorter mesial cusp ridge than distal
- Mesial cusp ridge nearly horizontal
- Mesial and distal proximal contacts more incisal
- Crown outline almost continuous with root, little bulge
- Less pronounced labial ridge
- Blunter root tip
Lingual Aspect
- Maxillary Canine:
- Prominent lingual anatomy
- Pronounced lingual marginal ridges
- Prominent lingual ridge and fossae
- Cingulum centered
- Mandibular Canine:
- Smoother lingual surface
- Less pronounced lingual marginal ridges
- Less prominent lingual ridge and fossae
- Cingulum centered or slightly distal
Mesial Aspect
- Less curvature labially on the crown, little curvature above cervical line
- Curvature at cervical portion less than 0.5mm
- Lingual outline similar to maxillary canine, but differing in degree
- Cingulum less pronounced
- Incisal portion of crown thinner labiolingually, making cusp more pointed
- Cusp tip nearly centered over root
- Cervical line curves more incisally than on maxillary canine
- Root tip more pointed on mandibular canine
- Developmental depression mesially on mandibular canine root is more pronounced
Distal Aspect
- Little difference from maxillary canine, except for features mentioned in mesial aspect (common to both)
Incisal Aspect
- Outlines of crowns are often similar
- Mandibular Canine:
- Mesiodistal dimension smaller than labiolingual dimension
- Mesial surface less curved
- Cusp tip and mesial cusp ridge inclined lingually
- Distal cusp ridge and contact area extension are distinct
- Cusp ridges of maxillary canine are in a nearly straight line mesiodistally
