The canines are distal to the lateral incisors and are the third teeth from the midline.
MAXILLARY CANINE

16.2 mm
- The maxillary canine is the third tooth from the midline. - It is the longest tooth in the mouth (26.3 mm) by virtue of its strongly developed thick single root (16.2 mm).
26.3 mm
- Its
root is usually the longest of any root with the possible exception of that of the lower canine, which may be as long sometimes.
Lin
Lab.
- The labiolingual measurement of the crown is greater than that of the upper central incisor, while the mesiodistal measurement is less. - The cingulum is greatly developed than that of the upper central incisor.
- This tooth has secure anchorage in the maxilla by virtue of its strongly-developed single root which has mesial and distal developmental depressions that help to furnish this anchorage.
-The maxillary canines are often the last teeth to erupt (at about 11-12 years), except for the third molar.

CHRONOLOGY
Initial calcification : 4 5 months after birth Completion of crown: 6 -7years Eruption : 11 12 years Completion of root : 13 15 years
Labial Aspect
The crown:
The geometric outline of the crown is trapezoid with the smallest uneven arm cervically.
Mesial outline:
Is usually convex from the cervical line to the mesial contact area.
Distal outline:
Is usually concave between the cervical line and the distal contact area.
Contact areas:
Mesial Nearly at the junction of the middle and incisal thirds of the crown, closer to the cusp tip than is the distal contact point.
Distal
In the middle third. Usually it is in the middle of the middle third. It is more cervically located than the mesial contact area.
The crown labially has a distinct pointed tip called a cusp. This cusp has a mesial slope and a distal slope, which are called mesial and distal cusp ridges.
The cusp tip is usually on a line with the center of the root.

Cervical line
The root:

D D
- The single root is long, slender, and conical with a pointed apex. - Its labial surface is smooth and convex at all points.
- The apical third is curved in a mesial or distal direction, in most cases distally.
Lingual aspect
The crown
The geometric outline is similar to that of the labial surface.
The crown is narrower lingually than labially.
The Cingulum
Mesial and distal marginal ridges usually of moderate size bound the lingual surface mesially and distally. The distal marginal ridge is slightly more elevated than the mesial marginal ridge.
Lingual ridge
It is a prominent vertical ridge runs from the cusp tip to the cingulum. Canines are the only teeth that have a prominent lingual ridge.
Lingual fossae
On each side of the lingual ridge a mesial and distal lingual fossae are present. These fossae are usually shallow.
Mesial aspect
In the middle third, at the lingual ridge, the lingual outline is slightly concave, then, becomes convex again in the incisal third representing the cusp tip.
The cusp tip is located labially to the root axis. The cusp is bulky because of the labial and lingual ridges.
Lab.
The cervical convexity of the canine is less marked than that on the incisors.
Distal aspect
The shape of the crown distally is similar to the crown shape from the mesial aspect, except that the cervical line has less curvature toward the cusp tip.
Incisal aspect
- The labiolingual dimension is greater than the mesiodistal. - The tip of the cusp is labial and mesial to the centers of the crown.

The mandibular canine is the third tooth from the midline of the mandible.
Its features are less well developed than those of upper canine. Its crown appears long and narrow compared with that of upper canine.
Labial aspect
The crown
The mesial outline:
Is nearly straight from the cervical line to the mesial contact area, then continues to the cusp slope.
Labial aspect
The crown
The distal outline:
Labial aspect
The crown
Incisal outline: The cusp tip is usually on the root axis line. The cusp is less pointed than that of upper canine.
The mesial slope of the cusp is shorter than the distal slope, more so than on maxillary canine.
Labial aspect
Contact areas
Mesial In the incisal third .
Distal At the junction of the middle and incisal thirds.
Labial aspect
Cervical line
The root
-0.6 mm -2 mm.
The root is shorter than that of the upper canine by 0.6 mm to 2 mm.
Lingual aspect
The crown taper toward the lingual surface.
The lingual surface of the crown resembles those of the lower incisors in being smooth. However: A faint lingual ridge is running from the cusp tip to the cingulum.
Lingual aspect
The cingulum is poorly developed The marginal ridges are not prominent. The mesial marginal ridge is longer and straighter than the shorter, more elevated and curved distal marginal ridge.
Mesial aspect
The mesial surface of the crown is wedge-shaped. The crown mesially is longer than that of upper canine.
The crown is narrower labiolingually than the upper canine (by 0.4 mm).
Cervical line
Curves more incisally than does the cervical line on upper canine.
Distal aspect
The general shape from the distal aspect is similar to the shape from the mesial aspect. The cervical line curvature is less on the distal surface than on the mesial surface.
The Root
The vertical developmental depression on the distal side of the root is often deeper than the depression on the mesial side.

Incisal aspect
The outline of lower canine from the incisal aspect is often similar to that of upper canine.
-This lingual placement of the distoincisal angle gives the incisal part of the crown a distolingual twist like lower lateral incisor. This twist matches closely the curvature of the dental arch.
The crown tapers lingually and the cingulum is represented by a curved line.
