Canines are very long and stable teeth
There are 4 canines (2 Maxillary & 2 Mandibular) placed at

CL : Cervical line
C : Cingulum
MMR : mesial marginal ridge
DMR : distal marginal ridge
LR : lingual ridge
DLF : distolingual fossa
Mesial Aspect
From the mesial aspect canine looks similar but bulkier
middle third
Distal Aspect
Distal surface is very similar to the mesial surface
The cervical line exhibits less curvature
The distal surface is generally smaller, with resultant
Incisal Aspect
The labiolingual dimension is greater than the mesiodistal
dimension
Maxillary canine is generally convex in both its labial and
lingual outlines
The cusp tip is labial to the centre of the crown labiolingually
this aspect
Incisal aspect
Root
Only one
Longest and strongest of all the teeth in the mouth
Mesial & distal surfaces of root have developmental depressions
From all aspects, the root tapers gradually to a sharp, or slightly
blunted apex
Wider labiolingually than mesiodistally
Lingual and labial surfaces are convex
