Periodontal ligament (PDL)
What are canines heavily connected to in the mouth which makes them hard to become loose even in periodontal disease?
Canines
What are the longest teeth in the mouth?
6, 11, 22, 27
Using the universal numbering system, which teeth are the canines?

Support lips and cheeks, Cut and pierce food, Canine-protected occlusion
What are the functions of canines?
Canine protected occlusion
Occlusal relationship in which vertical overlap of maxillary and mandibular canines produce a disocclusion (separation) of all posterior teeth when mandible moves to either side
Mutually protected occlusion
In maximal intercuspal position, posterior teeth come in contact and act as stops to minimize horizontal load on anterior teeth. Anterior teeth guide all the other movements of the mandible so posterior teeth contact will not take place during lateral or protrusive movements.

Centric position
What term describes the position of teeth with maximum intercuspation?
Excentric position
What term describes the position of teeth WITHOUT maximum intercuspation?
Centric
What type of movement is shown?

Protrusive
What type of movement is shown?

Lateral (L/R)
What type of movement is shown?

Canine guidance
What term describes the eccentric position where the canines are the only teeth touching?

Group function
What term describes the eccentric position where teeth other than just canines are touching?

Canine guidance
What is considered the ideal occlusion guidance scheme?
Disocclusion (reduces horizontal load/lateral forces)
What does canine guidance cause in posterior teeth?
Canines
Which teeth are the longest in each arch?
Maxillary canines
Which tooth in the mouth is the longest? (root to crown)
Mandibular canine
Which tooth in the mouth has the longest crown (according to Wheeler)?
Maxillary canines
Does the mandibular or maxillary canines have a larger root-crown ratio?
Cusp
On canines, incisal ridge (edge) is divided into mesial and distal cusp ridges forming a _________.
Mesial
Is the mesial or distal cusp ridge of a canine shorter?

Pentagon
The facial outline of canines is shaped as what?
Maxillary
Does the mandibular or maxillary canine have a more prominent labial ridge?
Maxillary
Does the mandibular or maxillary canine have a more prominent labial ridge?
Labial ridge
What is the arrow pointing to on the canine?

Faciolingually
Are canines wider mesiodistally or faciolingually?
Distal
Is the distal or mesial contact of canines more cervical?
Distal
Is the crown of canines more convex on the distal or mesial?
Mesial
Is the mesial or distal CEJ of canines more curved?
Triangular (wedge shaped)
What is the shape of the proximal outline of crowns of canines?
Cervical 1/3
Where is the height of contour located facially and lingually on canines?

Lingual
Is the facet of wear on maxillary canines located on the facial or lingual surface?
Facial
Is the facet of wear on mandibular canines located on the facial or lingual surface?
Diamond
What is the shape of the incisal wear on a canine?

Rectangular (ribbon shaped)
What is the shape of the incisal wear on an incisor?
Convex
How would you describe the mesial crown contour of the maxillary canine?

Almost straight
How would you describe the mesial crown contour of the mandibular canine?

Mandibular
Does the mandibular or maxillary canine not taper from contact to CEJ?

Mandibular
Does the maxillary or mandibular canine appear bent distally?

Maxillary
Is the maxillary or mandibular canine cusp tip more pointed/sharper?

Mesial
Is the mesial or distal cusp ridge of the mandibular canine closer to horizontal?

Mandibular
Are contacts on maxillary or mandibular canines closer to the incisal edge?
Incisal 1/3
Where is the mesial contact area on mandibular canines?
Junction of incisal and middle 1/3
Where is the distal contact area on the mandibular canines?
Distal contact of maxillary canine
Which canine contact is most cervical/located in the middle third?
Junction of incisal and middle 1/3
Where is the mesial contact area of maxillary canines?
Middle 1/3
Where is the distal contact of maxillary canines located?
Distally
The root apex of maxillary canines typically curves toward which direction?
2
Canines have how many lingual fossae?

Mandibular
Are maxillary or mandibular canine crowns longer?
Maxillary
Is the lingual ridge more prominent in maxillary or mandibular canines?

Maxillary
Does the mandibular or maxillary canine have a larger cingulum?
Centered
Is the maxillary canine cingulum located mesially, distally, or centered to root axis?
Distal (distolingual twist)
Is the mandibular canine cingulum located mesially, distally, or centered to root axis?
Maxillary central incisors, mandibular lateral incisors, and mandibular canines
What 3 teeth have a distolingual twist?
Maxillary
Do mandibular or maxillary canines have more prominent marginal ridges?
Lingual
Are canine roots narrower on the facial or lingual half?
Distal
Are mesial or distal root depressions typically deeper?
Facial
(makes sense because they fit over mandibular canines)
Are the cusp tips of maxillary canines located more facial or lingual in comparison to their midroot axis?
Lingual/Centered
(makes sense because they fit under maxillary canines)
Are the cusp tips of mandibular canines located more facial or lingual in comparison to their midroot axis?
Maxillary
Is the facial height of contour more prominent on the mandibular or maxillary canine?
Maxillary
(further from CEJ)
Is the facial height of contour located more incisally on the mandibular or maxillary canine?
Maxillary (due to height of contour being located more incisally)
Does a mandibular or maxillary canine have a double convexity on the facial surface?

Distal
Both mandibular and maxillary canines have a greater root depression on the distal or mesial side?
Distal pinch
What is the term when looking incisally that the distal half of the labial surface on a maxillary canine is more concave?
