cuspid

There is a small posterior accessory cuspid on the p2, although the p4 is not enlarged (see Paradiso and Nowak, 1972:figure 1) in C.

Older children (ages 7-13) may retain primary teeth in the molar and cuspid region.

Once proper leveling was achieved, we placed a 0.017 x 0.025" upper NiTi archwire and started grinding the canines' cuspid to avoid interferences in occlusion, as they were going to be used as laterals.

With a digital calibrator (Buffalo, up to 0.01 mm accuracy) the distance from the right first premolar vestibular cuspid tip to the left first premolar vestibular cuspid tip was measured in the maxillary dental arch.

Root surface area of the mandibular cuspid and bicuspids.

The ectopic eruption and impaction of permanent cuspid is a frequently encountered clinical problem.

Premolars are divided into two types namely bi cuspid and tricuspid premolars.

In a study, children's with dental anomalies in the primary dentition have found that 70 % of double teeth involved the mandibular lateral incisor and cuspid. It has been reported an unusual case of a bilateral fusion of lower canines and lateral incisors followed by the same anomaly in permanent dentition.

The clinician can investigate and diagnose the presence of impacted cuspid by using visual examination, digital palpation of the ridge, X-ray - orthopantomogram, X-ray occlusal view and CT/CBCT.32 Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has proven to be more accurate than any other diagnostic modality in localizing the impacted tooth.
