    Canines Maxillary and Mandibular

    Uploaded by

    Lamya Zaman
    Canines have several functions including cutting food, protecting posterior teeth, and anchoring bridges and dentures. The maxillary canine has a prominent labial ridge and root that bends distally, while the mandibular canine has a less pronounced labial ridge and straighter root. Both have long roots that help support them in the jaw.

    CANINES

     Functions:
     Cut food morsels
     Protect posterior teeth against the damaging horizontal forces-> canine
    protected occlusion
     Large roots-> support as abutments for fixed bridges prostheses or removable
    partial dentures
     Long thick roots help anchor them in the alveolar process of the jaw bone
     Incisal ridge is divided into 2 slopes by a cusp resembling a pentagon shape
     Mesial slope is shorter than distal slope
     Mesial segment of incisal edge is shorter and less inclined compared to distal
    segment
     Don’t have mamelons but may have a notch on either cusp slope
     Labial surface-> prominently convex with a vertical labial ridge
     The measurement of the crown and root is greater labiolingually (longer) than
    mesiodistally (wider)
    MAXILLARY CANINE

     The facial side of the crown is made up of three labial lobes


     Cingulum on lingual surface is the fourth lobe
     Middle lobe forms the prominent labial ridge
     Shallow depressions lie mesial and distal to labial ridge
     Mesial and distal cusp ridges form an angle that approaches the right angle- 105
    degrees
     There is a lingual ridge running cervicoincisally from the cusp to cingulum, and a
    mesial and a distal shallow lingual fossa, lying on either side of the lingual ridge
     Proximal aspect-> crown is wedge shaped and bulky due to prominent labial and
    lingual ridges
     The apical third of the root is narrow mesiodistally and apex is sharp
     Bends distally
     Root is noticeably broad faciolingually in its cervical and middle thirds
     Incisal aspect-> mesial half of labial outline is quite convex, whereas the distal half of
    labial outline is somewhat concave

    LINGUAL VIEW
    MANDIBULAR CANINE

     Labial surface:
     Smooth and convex
     Labial ridge not as pronounced as on maxillary canines
     Crown is long and narrow compared to maxillary C
     Mesial and distal cusp ridges form more obtuse angle than maxillary C
     Apical end of root:
     Straighter than curving towards mesial or distal sides
     Root curvature can’t be used to distinguish L and R unlike MaxCI
     Roots are shorter than the roots of upper canines
     Labiolingual dimension of crown:
     Noticeable larger than mesiodistally
     Oblong faciolingual outline is characteristic for mandibular canines
     Incisal part of crown has a slight distolingual twist
     Maxillary canines demonstrate wear on lingual side and mandibular canines on
    facial side of incisal edge
    MAXILLARY CANINE MANDIBULAR CANINE
    More acute cusp tip 105 degrees 120-degree cusp tip
    Apical root tip distally bent Crown is tipped distally on root
    Mesial side is less convex, distal more convex Mesial straight line with mesial side of root
    Labial ridge more pronounced Labial ridge less pronounced
    Blunt root tip Pointed root tip INCISAL VIEW
    Cingulum in centre Slightly distal to centre LABIAL VIEW PROXIMAL VIEW
    LINGUAL VIEW
    Poor distal marginal ridges Distal marginal ridge more prominent and
    smoother
    Distal root depression more distinct distal root depression less
    Cusp tip labial to root axis Cusp tip lingual to root axis
    Less distolingual crown twist More distolingual crown twist
