    The document describes the morphology and dimensions of permanent canine teeth. It discusses the features of maxillary and mandibular canines, including their labial, lingual, mesial, distal, and incisal aspects as well as root structures. Key features mentioned are the pointed cusp tip, cusp ridges, prominent cingulum, and longer root of maxillary canines compared to other teeth. Mandibular canines are slightly narrower than maxillary canines and have a flatter lingual surface resembling lateral incisors. Average crown and root lengths as well as diameters at different levels are also provided.

    MORPHOLOGY

    OF
    PARMANENT
     CANINE
    Maxillary Canine
    Labial aspect
     The crown of maxillary canine is narrower mesiodistally
    than that of maxillary central incisor.

     The incisal aspect has a large cusp with a pointed cusp


    tip

     It has two slopes (cusp ridges), the mesial slope being


    shorter than the distal slope

     The labial surface is smooth and bulky in the middle


    because of the labial ridge
    Labial ridge

    Distal cusp
    ridge Mesial Cusp
    Cusp tip Ridge
    Labial aspect
    Lingual aspect

     The crown and root are narrower lingually

     The cingulum is well developed, large and sometimes


    pointed like a cusp

     Occasionally a well developed lingual ridge is seen that


    divides the lingual fossa into mesial and distal lingual
    fossae

     Heavy marginal ridges are associated with well formed


    cingulum and fossae
    Mesial lingual fossa Cingulum
    Distal marginal ridge

    Mesial marginal ridge


    Distal lingual fossa

    Lingual ridge

    Lingual aspect
    Mesial aspect

     From the mesial aspect canine looks similar but bulkier


    than maxillary central incisor

     Maxillary canine is the widest anterior tooth labiolingually

     The cervical line curvature is towards the cusp (incisally)

     The contact area is near the junction of the incisal and


    middle third
    Mesial aspect
    Distal aspect
     Distal surface is very similar to the mesial surface

     The cervical line exhibits less curvature

     The contact are is near the middle third

    Distal aspect
    Incisal aspect

     The labiolingual dimension is greater than the


    mesiodistal dimension

     The cusp tip is labial to the centre of the crown


    labiolingually and mesial to the centre mesiodistally

     The labial ridge and the cingulum are very noticeable


    from this aspect

    Incisal aspect
    Root – only one
    The root is the longest and strongest of all the teeth in the
    dentition

    The mesial and distal surfaces of the root have


    developmental depressions.

    Mandibular Canine

    Labial aspect

     Mandibular canines are similar to maxillary canines


    except that they are slightly narrower mesiodistally

     Mesial outline of the crown is straight and inline with the


    mesial outline of the root

     The mesial cusp ridge is smaller than the distal cusp


    ridge
    Lingual aspect
     The lingual surface of the crown is smooth and flat

    simulating the surface of mandibular lateral incisor

     Cingulum is less prominent and marginal ridges are less


    distinct

    Mesial and Distal aspects


     These aspects are very similar and the cervical line

    curves more on the mesial aspect

     The contact area on mesial aspect is in the incisal third


    and a little higher on the distal third
    Incisal aspect
     Like maxillary canine the labiolingual dimension is more

    than the mesiodistal dimension

     The cusp tip appears inclined in a lingual direction

    Root
     The root is shorter by 1 or 2 mm

     The developmental depression is more pronounced on


    the lower canine
