This document discusses the dental anatomy of permanent canines. It provides details on the general characteristics, features and clinical aspects of the maxillary and mandibular permanent canines. The maxillary canine has a single pointed cusp with distinct mesial and distal slopes and a bulky palatal cingulum. It has a long single root. The mandibular canine is narrower than the maxillary canine with a less developed cusp and cingulum. The presentation provides detailed descriptions of the anatomical landmarks and features of each tooth surface.

Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi Maxillary Permanent Canine
General Characteristic Features
of the Canines: 1. The canines are placed at the “corners” of the mouth, which help in keeping facial expressions at the cosmetic value. Dental Anatomy lec 6 Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi Dental Anatomy lec 6 Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi Dental Anatomy lec 6 Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi 2. The canines are the longest teeth in the mouth.
3. The canines are the strongest teeth in
the mouth. WHY?
4. The canines are the most stable teeth
in the mouth because of the followings:
A- They have large labio-lingual
dimension.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi B- They have long roots, which are well anchored in the alveolar bone.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi C- The crown shape of the canine allows for “self-cleansing”, so they stay for longer time.
5. The middle labial lobe is highly
developed incisally into a strong, well-formed cusp.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi The Permanent Maxillary Canine Principal Identifying Features: 1. Single pointed cusp.
2. The distal slope of the cusp is longer
than the mesial slope.
3. Marked convex labial outline and
bulky palatal cingulum.
4. Very long single root.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi Labial Aspect 1. The mesial outline of the crown is convex from the cervical line to the crest of curvature, which is located at the junction of the incisal and middle thirds. 2. The distal outline of the crown is D M slightly concave from the cervical line to the crest of curvature,which is located at the center of the middle third.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi 3. The tip of the cusp is in a line with the center of the root.
4. The distal slope of the cusp is longer
than the mesial slope.
5. The cervical line is convex toward
the root. 6. The labial surface is smooth except for a shallow depression mesially and distally dividing the three lobes, with the middle one much more developed producing the labial ridge. Dental Anatomy lec 6 Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi 7. The root is long and conical, with the apex curved distally.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi Lingual Aspect 1. The tooth is narrower lingually than labially (i.e., tapered lingually).
2. The cingulum in the maxillary canine
is larger than that in the maxillary central and lateral incisors.
3. There is a well developed lingual
ridge confluent with the cusp tip, which divides the lingual fossa into two fossae.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi 4. There is a developmental depression mesially and distally extending for most of the root length.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi Mesial Aspect 1. The labial and lingual outlines of the crown are more convex than that in the maxillary central and lateral incisors, with the crest of curvature (labially and 2.5mm lingually) located at the cervical thirds.
2. The curvature of the cervical line is
2.5 mm towards the cusp.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi 3. A line bisecting the cusp is labial to a line bisecting the root.
4. There is a developmental depression extending on part of the root.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi Distal Aspect 1. The curvature of the cervical line is less distally than mesially (as in the maxillary central and lateral incisors).
2. The developmental depression
of the root is more pronounced distally than mesially.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi Incisal Aspect 1. The labio-lingual dimension is greater than the mesio-distal dimension.
2. The ridge of the labial lobe is very
noticeable labially, with its greatest convexity at the cervical third.
3. The cingulum is well developed and
makes a small arc when compared with the labial outline which makes a large arc.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi 4. The tip of the cusp is labial to the center labio-lingually, and at or slightly mesial labial to the center mesio-distally. mesial
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi The Permanent Mandibular Canine Principal Identifying Features:
1. The mandibular canine is narrower M D
mesio-distally and labiolingually than the maxillary canine.
2. The lingual surface of the crown of
the mandibular canine is shorter than that of the maxillary canine, with less developed cingulum and less prominent marginal ridges.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi 3. The cusp of the mandibular canine is not as well-developed as that of the maxillary canine. 4. The tip of the cusp is not in a line with the center of the root. 5. The mesial slope of the cusp is shorter than the distal slope. 6. The distal outline of the crown is more rounded than the mesial outline.
Dental Anatomy lec 6
Dr. Malak Alhuwaizi 7. The mesial surface of the crown is nearly straight with the mesial surface of the root, with the contact area being near the mesio-incisal angle. M D 8. The distal contact area is located more incisally than the maxillary canine.
