Mandibular Canine
 Similar to maxillary canine
 Except that this is
 Shorter in crown dimension
 Shorter in root dimension
 Greater in MD @ contact area
 Greater in MD @ cervix
 Shorter in labiolingual dimension
 Distal slope longer than mesial slope

4. Dr. Rooban Thavarajah
Mandibular Canine
 Mandibular canine is a much narrower
tooth LP
 MD width is less than that of maxillary
canine.
 The incisocervical dimension of the two
deciduous canines is the same.

5. Mandibular Canine
 Mandibular canine has incisocervical height
greater than its MD width
 Distoincisal slope is longer on the mandibular
canine - Maxillary canine - mesioincisal slope
is longer.
 Cingulum, marginal and cervical ridges are less
- mandibular canine.
 Mandibular canine root is shorter
