    Canine guidance during right lateral excursions (Institute of Dentistry University of Aberdeen) Canine Guidance. Dynamic occlusion that occurs on the canines (on the working side) during lateral excursions of the mandible. These teeth are best suited to accept horizontal forces in eccentric movements due to their long roots and good crown/root ...

    A cusp is an elevation on an occlusal surface of posterior teeth and canines. It contributes to a significant portion of the tooth's surface. Canines have one cusp. Maxillary premolars and the mandibular first premolars usually have two cusps. Mandibular second premolars frequently have three cusps--- one buccal and two lingual.

    Canine space infections may occur by spread of infection from the buccal space. [2] Signs and symptoms of a canine space abscess might include swelling that obliterates the nasolabial fold . If left untreated, infections of this space will eventually spontaneously drain via the medial or lateral canthus of the eye, as this is the path of least ...

    Occlusal trauma; Secondary occlusal trauma on X-ray film displays two lone-standing mandibular teeth, the lower left first premolar and canine. As the remnants of a once full complement of 16 lower teeth, these two teeth have been alone in opposing the forces associated with mastication for some time, as can be evidenced by the widened PDL surrounding the premolar.

    In anatomy, the Curve of Spee (also called von Spee's curve or Spee's curvature) is defined as the curvature of the mandibular occlusal plane beginning at the canine and following the buccal cusps of the posterior teeth, continuing to the terminal molar. According to another definition the curve of Spee is an anatomic curvature of the occlusal ...

    The presence of buccal exostosis can be diagnosed by both clinical examination and radiological interpretation of the oral cavity. Clinically, buccal exostoses appear as single, broad-based masses, usually situated bilaterally in the premolar and molar region on the facial surface of the maxillary alveolar bone. [11]
