  8. Canine space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_space

    The most likely causative tooth is the maxillary canine or maxillary first premolar. [1] This occurs when pus (e.g. from a periapical abscess), perforates the buccal cortical plate of the maxilla above the level of attachment of the levator anguli oris muscle. This is more likely if the tooth root is long (the maxillary canine has the longest ...
