    Study Notes

    Permanent Canines Overview

    • Four permanent canines in total: two in maxillary arch and two in mandibular arch, with one per quadrant.
    • Positioned at the corners of the mouth, enhancing cosmetic facial expressions.
    • Noted for stability due to their large labio-lingual dimension, long wide roots, and self-cleansing crown shape.
    • Develop from four lobes: three labial and one lingual, with the middle labial lobe forming a prominent cusp.
    • Wider buccolingually than mesiodistally, with a convex labial outline featuring a labial ridge.

    Unique Features of Canines

    • Distal cusp slope longer than mesial cusp slope.
    • Contact areas positioned at different cervico-occlusal levels, linked to adjacent tooth classes.
    • Alveolar bone over canine roots presents as canine eminence.
    • Longest and strongest roots among teeth, providing excellent anchorage.

    Functions of Canines

    • Assist and support other teeth during mastication.
    • Primarily used for tearing, seizing, slicing, and chewing food.
    • Contribute significantly to aesthetics.

    Maxillary Canine Characteristics

    • Labial aspect shaped trapezoidal or pentagonal, with a convex mesial outline.
    • Distal outline slightly concave, with a longer distal cusp slope than mesial.
    • Cervical line curves convexly towards the root.
    • Smooth labial surface interrupted by shallow depressions, with a developed labial ridge.

    Maxillary Canine Aspects

    • Lingual aspect narrower than labial with a larger cingulum compared to incisors; features well-developed lingual ridge.
    • Mesial aspect shows more convex labial and lingual outlines with a pronounced curvature of cervical line.
    • Distal aspect has a less pronounced cervical line curvature.
    • Incisal aspect wider labio-lingually than mesiodistally, with prominent labial lobe ridge and well-developed cingulum.

    Mandibular Canine Characteristics

    • Generally narrower mesiodistally and labio-lingually compared to maxillary canines.
    • Less developed lingual surface and cingulum; cusp tip alignment differs from maxillary canines.
    • Distal cusp slope is longer while mesial slope is shorter; crown shape less convex.

    Mandibular Canine Aspects

    • Labial aspect trapezoidal or pentagonal, with a nearly straight mesial outline aligned with the root.
    • Distal outline less convex; cusp tip aligned with vertical root axis.
    • Lingual aspect resembles labial but is narrower and less concave, with a shallow lingual fossa.
    • Mesial aspect triangular in shape, less convex labial outline, and reduced curvature of cervical line.
    • Distal aspect mirrors mesial features but with a flatter cervical line.
    • Incisal aspect oval with a smaller cingulum compared to maxillary canines, and cusp ridges inclined lingually.
