Maxillary Left Canine -- Lingual View

Root -- Tapered to the lingual

Distal view

  • Fossa distal-linugal

  • Distal marginal ridges, most prominent with the incisal third.

Mesial View

  • Cervical line is even

  • Fossa mesiolingual

  • Mesial Marginal Ridges, most prominent with the incisal third

Lingual View

  • crown tapers to the lingual

  • Very prominent cingulum, can be pointed

  • Sometimes developmental line separates cingulum from rest of lingual, might be a pit in this area

  • 2 fossa --
    **Mesiolingual
    **Distallingual

Distal View

  • a little more curvature, gets slightly convex in cervial third.
