at apex than mandibular canine roots |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
| Describe the mesial crown contour of the maxillary canine compared to the mesial crown contour of the mandibular canine |
|
Definition
Mesial crown contour of
maxillary is convex in middle
third but nearly flat in cervical
third, whereas mandibular
mesial contour is almost flat or
convex and nearly in line with
root contour |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term

obtuse (more blunt)
horizontal |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|

|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Does the maxillary or mandibular canine have the larger cingulum |
|
Definition
|
|

|
Definition
|
|
Term
