Creating a Calm Dental Surgery Atmosphere
By: Dr Nenad Dordevic
Tags: Dentistry, Dental Health, Dental Care, Dentist, Dental Surgery

Receptionists, dental nurses, and dental practice managers are crucial personnel in creating the right atmosphere in the dental office conducive for treating anxious, nervous, fearful and phobic patients.

All staff should sing from the same hymn sheet, should be pleasant, calm, show a big smile and be caring. Listening to patients and eliciting information from them in a genuine tone to make the patients comfortable is so paramount. Staff should make a real effort in getting to know patients as a human being rather than someone who just comes in to have “their teeth done”.

The dental surgery/practice and office atmosphere can be made calm and unthreatening by the playing of soft neutral music and avoidance of bright lights. Decor in all the rooms should steer away from lots of white clinical walls and avoid lots of “don’t do this and that” type of information notices.

The temperature should be comfortable. The walls can be adorned with useful posters and pictures without being “scary” or too clinical. Likewise, the patient sitting in the waiting room needs to be supplied with up to date general books and magazines. Nervous patients hate “dental” noises and are very sensitive even though the staff become immune and block these out.

These sounds produced from the instruments/machinery in the treatment room should be muted by closing the doors.

Time keeping by the dentists is so critical and patients really appreciate time keeping and are so grateful if they do come early and the dentist does not make them wait even right up to their appointment without reason.

Therefore in this regard, a dentist should manage their diary accurately and efficiently. All anxious patients should not be made to wait too long, so that they have less time to absorb any negative experiences and self-talk which will heighten their anxieties.

Introducing pleasant aromas should be introduced to the dental environment or at least be neutral as this can also help to reduce dental anxiety by covering the smell of dental materials and disinfectants such as eugenol and by the smells released through drilling of tooth structures such as enamel, dentine and pulpal tissue.

Smell can trigger past bad experiences and this array of emotions will subsequently condition a patient negatively towards their dental visit to you. Aromatherapy using oils and candles are one such approach, wherein essential oils through inhalation have an anxiolytic effect and improve relaxation. It is an adjunct in managing moderate rather than severe fears and anxiety or phobia.

In several studies on healthy individuals, the inhalation of lavender oils has been shown to significantly reduce the levels of stress by lowering blood cortisol and decreasing galvanic skin conductance with a lowering of systolic blood pressure.

A patient centred practice as a sensory adapted dental environment (SDE) should always be the focus in increasing pleasantness of the primary senses of sight, sounds, touch, feel, and smell, hence providing a calming atmospheric sensation.

What You Should Know About Your Tooth Extraction Procedure
By: Lombard Dentist - Sanders Family Dental
Tags: Dentistry, Tooth Extraction Dentist, Dentist, Lombard Dentist, Emergency Dentist

If you do have a tooth extraction lined up, you’re probably a little nervous, particularly if you’re getting a tooth extracted for the first time. To make you feel more comfortable with the procedure, let’s give you a clear idea of what you should expect, so you’re cool as a cucumber when the “special day” comes! Read on to learn what happens during the extraction of a tooth.

The tooth extraction procedure

In reality, the extraction process is a very fast and easy process. First, to numb your mouth, the dentist gives you a local anesthetic so you don’t feel any pain during the operation. If your tooth is negatively impacted — or you have to get multiple teeth removed — you can also get an IV sedation to sleep during the operation.

When you are anesthetized, the dentist is going to remove your tooth. He will either place gauze in the empty socket and make you bite down to stop bleeding or he can use stitches to cover the gum up.

That’s what it is! You’ll be able to go home after we’ve done the extraction and stopped the bleeding.

If you only have one tooth to be extracted, you can complete the entire procedure within 20–40 minutes. If you have several teeth to be removed, however, plan to spend some more time at the dentist’s office. Every additional tooth, depending upon its position, can take further 3–15 minutes of the appointment.

Will there be pain involved?

No, there won’t be any pain involved. Since there will be anesthetizing of the nerve fibers that send pain signals, you won’t feel pain. However, you can feel a feeling of strain. You can also sometimes feel a lot of pressure.

While this feeling of pressure shouldn’t cause you to feel anxious, you should know it here because the more you know exactly what you should expect, the easier it will be for you to feel confident during the operation.

You must be mindful that, during the process, you can hear sharp noises. Many patients consider this the most discomforting aspect of the operation. If you have headphones, you might want to bring them with you, so you can listen to music while the dentist extracts your tooth.

In case you need an emergency tooth extraction in Lombard IL

The majority of patients needing emergency extractions go straight to ER. Hospitals, however, can generally only provide pain killers to patients and transfer the matter to their dentist, because they are not prepared for such work.

In addition, many dentists must refer patients needing emergency extractions to an oral surgeon. Luckily, that’s not the case for Sanders Family Dental. At our practice, Dr. David and Dr. Leslie Sanders will personally review your case and, if necessary, perform emergency extraction during your visit.

Kindly note that during the COVID-19 crisis, when most dental practices are shut, Sanders Family Dental has been open for any dental emergency in Lombard IL. So, if you’re looking for emergency tooth extraction in Lombard IL, click here and book your appointment.
Dental Anatomy And Morphology Of The Mandibular Lateral Incisor
By: Dr Nenad Dordevic
Tags: Dentistry, Dentist, Teeth, Blog, Dental Anatomy

Dental Anatomy And Morphology Of The Mandibular Lateral Incisor

The mandibular lateral incisor is a little larger in all dimensions than the mandibular central incisor in the same mouth.

The crown of the mandibular lateral incisor resembles that of the mandibular central incisor, but it is not as bilaterally symmetrical. The distal outline is rounded compared to a flatter mesial crown outline. The crown of the lateral incisor is tilted distally on the root, giving the impression that the tooth has been bent at the cervix.

The distoincisal angle is noticeably more rounded than the mesioincisal angle, but before attrition. This is an important mark to distinguish lefts from rights but prior to attrition.

The distal contact point is cervical to the level of the mesial one. The two contact areas are not at the same level unlike the contact areas on the central incisor — on the same level.

From the incisal aspect, the incisal edge does not follow a straight line mesiodistally. It has a distolingual twist — the distal half of the incisal edge is bent lingually.
Cosmetic Dentistry: An Overview

A fixed restoration to replace one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge is a false tooth or teeth generally made of crowns held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap.

They look, shape, and function like natural teeth and are custom-made for every patient, mostly from porcelain.

A typical dental bridge has two parts, An Abutment teeth to lend support on each side of the bridge and Pontics, the false tooth that fills in the gap and attaches to the crowns.

They can help restore the teeth lost to disease, an injury, decay, or a failed root canal and are particularly helpful for patients who can’t get implants for medical reasons.

The bridge helps to restore the smile, the ability to chew properly, the speech and pronunciation and help to maintain the shape of the face while also deterring the remaining teeth from moving out of the right position

It is a quicker procedure and doesn’t require invasive surgery unless the bridge is supported by implants. It has a faster recovery time and is a more affordable option

There are mainly four types of Dental Bridges

Traditional Bridges

Cantilever dental bridge

Implant-supported dental bridge

Maryland dental bridge

The protection and longevity of the dental bridge can be ensured with regular brushing and flossing, regular professional cleanings, and a balanced diet.

The cost of a dental bridge is affected by many variables like the type of dental bridge chosen, number of teeth needed to fill the gap, the materials used, the difficulty and complexity of the placement, and any additional treatments for other dental issues such as gum disease

A dental bridge aids in restoring the look and function of the mouth in the process boosting morale and self-confidence.

An appointment with Dr Gaurav Sharma at Kirkland Premier Dentistry for a discussion about different replacement options can help you know if a dental bridge is a right choice for you.

AS WE BEGIN TO BUILD TOGETHER FOR SUSTAINABILITY...

Dearest IFUDSITES,

My every breath sings gratitude to God and to you all.

We are stronger together.

Let me congratulate everyone — contestants who all have shown great attitude throughout the periods of campaign; the Electoral Committee for organizing a free and fair election; again, you, our electorates are the most valuable players. You have shown with your vote the direction you want our dear association to move in the next few months.

Tonight, IFUDSA won. And that’s the most important thing. We have held an election that we are proud of. We have shown by the power of our votes that us and only us are the shapers of our destiny.

Dearest IFUDSITES, tonight, I want to say to you, we have more work to do. More work to do to enhance our professional training via ceaseless human development and organisational capacity building; more work to do to reignite our connections with our alumni; we need to improve our research skills while still undergraduates. These areas will enhance our dental training and our suitability for work in this age and century.

Having said that, dear gentle reader, your welfare, our welfare comes first before anything. It is the number one thing. Our academic welfare, our mental health, our overall health, our overall welfare is the most important thing as a people. We will empathetically work together and be strong together. Our unity is bigger than numbers. And when we believe that that, the possibilities are endless.

Thank you for choosing me as your President!

Make no mistake: Too many dreams have been deferred for too long. We now need to believe in the possibility of doing things differently and build a sustainable, modern, 21st century organization. We have the opportunity to defeat despair and to build an association of prosperity, purpose and vision.

I believe, and I want you to believe with me. I want to work with you for sustainability. And while sustainability isn’t built in a day, starting small and having a big VISION is part of we need right now in 2021 in the 21st century.

IFUDSITES, again, thank you for choosing me as your President. In the coming weeks, calls will be made into the our functional departments and committees. Please, join at least one. IFUDSA needs your talents and abilities. IFUDSA needs what you can do. Let’s do this thing together.

Again, I extend hearty congratulations to fellow Executives-elect. I cannot wait to start working with you.

Learn More About Dental X-ray
Tags: Dentistry, Dental Care, Oral Health, Dentistnearme, Dental X Ray

Dental X-Ray, also known as radiographs, help the dentist in diagnosing any flaw between and inside your teeth. It further helps them in visualizing the disease of teeth that can’t be seen with a simple oral exam.

Such an X-Ray is performed yearly to track the progress of dental treatment and condition of teeth and gums. Compared to adults, it is inevitable for children to have dental X-rays for monitoring the growth of adult teeth. Through this, a dentist will be able to give his judgment regarding pulling over the baby’s teeth to avoid any sort of complications.

Dental X-Ray can easily spot the trouble early in your teeth, gums, jaw, and mouth. Getting early treatment for such dental problems will alleviate pain and irritation. For Dental X-Ray, you can always reach out to us anytime.

How Does a Dental X-ray Work?

Dental X-Ray is often conducted during routine visits where it shows the crown portion of your teeth and finds out if any signs of decay. To conduct this X-Ray, a patient is asked to place a plate in between their teeth where the machine will be placed on either side of your face.

Secondly, Panoramic x-rays are also a part of dental health treatment. It is taken from the outside of your mouth that gives a bigger and clear picture of the oral cavity. It also includes pictures of the sinus area and jawbones to check if there’s any oral disorder.

Most importantly, these X Rays are safe and emit quite a lower level of radiation.

Which are the key problems that dental X-Ray detects?

Dental X Rays can detect-

• Reveal bone loss or any infection in the bone

• Infection in the small areas between the teeth

• Helps in suggesting for dentures, braces, tooth implants, or any other dental procedure

• Reveal abnormalities like cysts and tumor

• Check if there’s enough space for new teeth fitting

Dental pain during pregnancy?
By: Dental Dost
Tags: Dental Care, Dentistry, Oral Health, Pregnancy

Pregnancy comes with a host of new emotions, experiences and for some women, uncomfortable side effects. One such common concern for expectant mothers is dental pain during pregnancy.

Dental pain can be quite unpleasant and adds to the existing stresses of a pregnant women.

Causes of dental pain during pregnancy

The body undergoes many changes during pregnancy, all thanks to the ever changing hormones. Estrogen and progesterone are responsible for not just symptoms like vomiting and nausea, they also make you vulnerable to dental problems.

The delicate dance of hormones, reduces your body’s defences against dental plaque. This gives dental plaque a free regime to entrench itself and cause maximum damage to your teeth and gums. This causes formation of tartar, pain and in severe cases even loosening of teeth.

The same hormonal changes are also responsible for gum diseases like gingivitis during pregnancy. Symptoms of gingivitis like bleeding gums, red, swollen gums along with dull pain are seen. Ignoring them for a long time can turn gingivitis into serious conditions like periodontitis.

Morning sickness, causes vomiting of food along with the stomach acids. These acids are strong and melt away the outer surface of your teeth. This causes tooth sensitivity and even pain.

Treatment options for dental pain during pregnancy

First and foremost visit your dentist. They are best equipped to handle all of your dental problems well and give you long lasting results. Most dental treatments can be safely done during pregnancy with the right precautions.

If you can’t reach your dentist, you can always try simple home remedies like chewing a piece of clove or using clove oil. Garlic also works just like clove and can provide relief from dental pain. Warm salt water rinses will help soothe gums and reduce oral bacteria.

Dos and don’ts if you’re experiencing pain

Don’t just pop a pain killer even if you’re experiencing severe dental pain. Some medications may cause side effects and directly affect the baby.

Don’t place hot or cold packs if you are having any kind of swelling and immediately visit the dentist.

Do not apply excessive clove oil for relief. Apply only a minimal of 1–2 drops.

Avoid eating hot and hard consistency foods.

Do not apply any gels or intraoral ointments before asking your dentist.

Last but not the least don’t ignore or suffer the pain. Your dentist will guide you and help you get rid of your sufferings. Make sure you carry all your reports while visiting your dentist.

Three Ways of Preventing Oral Cancer
By: Warren Melamed
Tags: Dentistry, Oral Cancer

A doctor of dental surgery (DDS) from Meharry School of Dentistry, Dr. Warren Melamed has extensive dentistry and oral health knowledge. He founded Embassy Dental in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2005, and currently, Dr. Warren Melamed offers a six-hour presentation to Dental Resident seminars at Meharry School of Dentistry. He also supports various local organizations educating them about oral cancer.

Considered one of the top three cancers, oral cancer develops in any part of the mouth. Because regular screening leads to early detection, hence increasing treatment success rates, oral cancer prevention is possible. Below are some ways that can help in the prevention of oral cancer.

1. Good oral hygiene is one way of preventing oral cancer. Regular brushing and flossing can stop germs and infections from breeding in the mouth. Infections such as Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) are a significant cause of oral cancers. As such, keeping the mouth clean and healthy can help boost the overall immune system in the fight against potential cancers.

2. Tobacco is the number one cause of oral cancer. Therefore, avoiding tobacco such as cigarettes, pipes, and cigars can also help prevent oral cancer. In addition, excessive alcohol consumption should be avoided.

3. A self-examination at least once every month and regular visits to a dentist (at least twice a year) is another way to prevent oral cancer. Scheduling regular consultations with a dentist is paramount.
3 Crucial Facts About Dental Crowns You Need To Know Before Seeing The Dentist

3 Crucial Facts About Dental Crowns You Need To Know Before Seeing The Dentist Carl Rivera Dec 23, 2021·2 min read

You can tell a lot about a person after seeing them smile. Dental experts say that a beautiful smile can get you out of an awkward encounter… and even diffuse a potentially dangerous one.

Sounds like a superpower, right?

Studies indicate that a beautiful smile is good for mental health and can help with social anxiety. When you smile, your body releases neuropeptides, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins that relieve stress, pain and acts as a natural antidepressant.

Unfortunately, the woes of life often make smiling a difficult task. Researchers say that we smile less as we get older. Children smile about 400 times a day, the average adult smiles 20 times per day, and a happy adult smiles 40–50 times a day.

Notice the disparity? Yet, kids swear that they can’t wait to be adults.

Apart from the struggles of life, some people are ashamed to smile because they don’t have healthy teeth.

Luckily, innovations such as dental crowns can help even the most insecure person smile brightly!

Do you know all there is about dental crowns? Take a look at the facts below.

Dental Crowns Last A Long Time

The average dental crown can last anywhere between 10 to 15 years. So if you get one installed the same year your child is born, he might be a teenager before your crown develops any complications.

Crowns protect and add support to cracked and exposed teeth. If you add a little gold, you can look like your favorite 2000s rapper!

2. Dental Crowns Are Preferred Over Fillings

Studies reveal that dentists prefer using a dental crown over a filling. They say that fillings tend to compromise the structural integrity of teeth. Crowns, on the other hand, protect exposed, cracked, or broken teeth. They add structural support, too.

3. Dental Crown Installations Are Not Painful

Surveys reveal that many people are afraid to visit the dentist because they believe the treatment will be painful.

That is far from the truth.

Many dental procedures aren’t painful, and dentists often use anesthesia to block the pain receptors in the treatment area.

Don’t let a myth stop you from getting the crown you deserve.

It only takes a few visits to your local dentist to get your crown installed correctly. Additionally, the procedure is quite affordable, too.

If you wait too long to get proper dental care, you run the risk of having to do more invasive and expensive procedures in the long run.

In this post-pandemic economy, do you want to be spending more than you have to?

3 Common, Super Wrong Reasons People Don’t Go To The Dentists
By: Carl Rivera
Tags: Dental Services, Dentist, Dental Office Near Me, Dentistry

A great smile has the potential to shift the atmosphere in any room. However, if your smile isn’t that great, you’ll feel that the opposite is extremely likely to happen.

Dentists and oral hygienists suggest that you visit the dentist once every 6 months. But you should visit once every 3 to 4 months if you have a dental issue.

Unfortunately, many people around the world do not visit the dentist as often as they should. Studies say that 35% of the working American public visit the dentist annually.

Only 35%.

Why are people not going to the dentist? Here are a few reasons:

They do not have a good reason to go

While it is recommended that you visit your dentist annually, many people forgo the appointment because they feel no pain.

If there is no discomfort, there is no reason to visit the dental clinic.

While this approach seems practical, studies suggest that many cases of gum disease are not treated until it’s too late.

2. Dental care is costly

There have been many cases where people turn to home remedies for their dental ailments instead of visiting a specialist.

One of the main reasons is cost.

While dental care can get expensive, studies show that basic dental checkups are within budget for the average Americans — and in places like New Zealand, people receive free dental care until they are 18.

Although the cost is more or less a myth, many still hang on to it as a valid reason to not visit the dentist.

3. People are afraid of dental instruments

It may be a bit frightening to have someone inspect your mouth with all sorts of metal objects.

What if they touch something that they shouldn’t touch? What if this procedure turns out to be painful?

Even though dentists study for years before they operate on any patients, the fear of dental instruments is a very real thing.

Studies reveal that many cases of dental phobia are linked to factors that do not affect the individual directly. One of the main culprits is vicarious learning through significant others and the media.

As impractical as these reasons may seem, many dental practices work hard to put these fears to rest.

If you or a loved one is in dire need of dental care, visiting the nearest dental clinic (with exceptional reviews) is a good place to start.

If talking clearly matters most then there’s nothing stopping anyone from making sure their speech sounds crisp rather than nasal while discussing anything with friends over dinner or even just driving down the main street; however, if stained dentition isn’t something that matches up well either physically or aesthetically — the way someone looks. Dental health is of vital importance to everyone. There are many ways you can maintain your teeth and gums, but the best way for some people maybe not at all: gum disease or tooth decay can lead to serious medical problems like heart attacks and strokes which will leave their life in ruins if they don’t take them seriously from day one.

Dental Sealants: Your Prevention From Tooth Decay!
By: Lombard Dentist - Sanders Family Dental
Tags: Dentistry, Dental Sealants, Dentist, Lombard Dentist, Dental Services Lombard

It’s really hard to clean each and every corner of your teeth — specifically those molars and premolars, even with brushing and flossing. Molars are actually rough, unequal and the most favored spot for remaining food particles and cavity-producing bacteria to conceal themselves.

But, there’s yet another safety measure to help keep those teeth clean. It’s known as a Sealant! You can consider them as raincoats for your teeth. It’s a thin, protective film (composed of plastic or other dental materials) that fixes to the chewing surface of your back teeth. They can prevent cavities from developing and may even obstruct early phases of decay from converting into a full-blown cavity.

Who Can Get Sealants?

Children and adults both can receive sealants, but the sooner you get them, the better. Generally, children should get their sealants on their permanent molars and premolars immediately when these teeth come in. This allows the sealants to guard the teeth through the cavity-prone years of ages 6 to 14 and also help not to waste time and money in the long run. Ask your dentist at Sanders Family Dental, if sealants are apt for you and your family.

In certain cases, dental sealants may also be convenient for baby teeth, specifically when a toddler’s baby teeth have intense depressions and grooves. Since baby teeth play an essential part in anchoring the appropriate spacing for permanent teeth, it’s necessary to keep these teeth healthy and strong so they are not lost too early.

How will your Dentist in Lombard, IL Treat you?

It’s a swift and pain-free practice. Firstly your specialist will minutely clean and dry your tooth and then again some cotton or other absorbent material is applied around the tooth in order to keep it dry. Next, an acidic gel will be applied on your teeth. This gel roughens your tooth surface so that a rigid binding will create between your tooth and the sealant. After some time, your doctor will wash off the gel and dry your tooth again before applying the sealant onto the fissures of your tooth. Then with the help of a special blue light your specialist will harden the sealant. When the sealant has entirely hardened it transforms to be a hard plastic varnish coating, and you can chew normally again.

How Long Do Sealants Last?

Sealants will naturally stay for many years before they require to be applied again. When you make your regular visit to the dental office, the doctor will analyze the condition of the sealant and can reapply them when essential. Along with that if you use fluoride toothpaste or mouthwashes then that helps to guard all the surfaces of the tooth from decay and cavities.

Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Sealants?

Numerous insurance companies cover the expense of sealants but maximum only for patients less than 18 years of age. Check with your dental insurance service provider to assure whether sealants are covered under your plan.

AI is making smiles brighter and easing dental anxiety

One of the medical practices that many people fear more than any other, is dentistry. There’s something about sitting in a chair and having someone invade your mouth that puts people on edge. Perhaps having AI play an increasing role in whatever you’re having checked, cleaned, or drilled, will help alleviate at least a modicum of that anxiety.

“Narrow” AI solutions that are experts at specialized tasks are becoming far more common place in all manner of industries, and medical care is no exception. Just as machine learning AIs are being used to help improve the diagnosis for serious diseases like cancer, it’s also finding use in dentistry to improve the accuracy of abnormality detection in X-rays of the jaw and teeth, make recommendations for orthodontic treatments, and optimize endodontic therapy.

Although this process can still be achieved using a medical professional for a second opinion — and often is to add an added layer of human oversight to the process — algorithms like Behold.ai’s can do this far faster, anywhere in the world, for any number of practices, simultaneously. It does so providing the same level of reliable, consistent, and often-accurate expertise that is far from as readily available as more traditional clinician opinions.

This makes an AI diagnosis a perfect alternative to the traditional second opinion of a professional. Not only because of its accuracy and ease of access, but also its impartiality. Patients can rest assured that the AI brings less of a potentially implicit human bias to its diagnosis. While there are ways in which algorithms can reflect the biases of the programmers who wrote it, machine learning’s independence and self-taught design makes that less likely.

Trust will need to be built up with the machines too, though. Medical data of any kind is incredibly sensitive, and dentistry is no different. That data must be shared with the AI and in some form in turn, the company that developed and manages it. Strict data sharing practices must be in place to make that process feel trustworthy and not open to exploitation, data theft, or sale.

Still, with the potential for life-altering, permanent surgery and adjustments as part of the dentistry field, and the lifelong anxiety associated with it for many, AI holds an exciting potential to both improve the quality of the service, and remove one of the biggest reasons people don’t seek help for it in the first place.
3 Ways to Disinfect Your Toothbrush

3 Ways to Disinfect Your Toothbrush

1. Salt

Before modern toothbrushes and toothpaste, ancient civilizations used salt to protect their dental health. As such, salt has long been known to have excellent sterilization and disinfection properties. To disinfect your toothbrush with salt, sprinkle a small amount on your toothbrush and soak it in a cup of water for 20–30 minutes. After that, take out your toothbrush, rinse it with running water, and let it dry. Now your toothbrush is disinfected.

2. Baking Soda

Baking soda is an eco-friendly cleaner that can be used in many places, such as the kitchen, the bathroom, or any other room in your house. It can also be used to disinfect your toothbrush! Just like with salt, sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on your toothbrush and soak it in a cup of water for 20–30 minutes. After that, you can take out your toothbrush, rinse it, and dry it. Doing this once a week will keep your toothbrush clean.

3. Mouthwash

There is also a way to disinfect your toothbrush using mouthwash. Unsurprisingly, it can be used in the same way as salt and baking soda. Put your toothbrush in a cup of water and pour mouthwash into the cup until the head of the toothbrush is completely submerged. After 20–30 minutes, take your toothbrush out, rinse it with running water, shake off the water, and let it dry in a sunny place.
Anatomy Dental Of The Mandibular Canine

Anatomy Dental Of The Mandibular Canine

The labial surface is smooth and convex. The labial ridge is not as pronounced as on the maxillary canines. The crown appears long and narrow compared with the crown of the maxillary canine. The mesial and distal cusp ridges form a more obtuse angle (120˚) than the maxillary canine.

The apical end of the root is more often straight than curving toward the mesial or distal sides. Therefore, on mandibular canines, the root curvature should not be used to distinguish rights and lefts. Roots are shorter than the roots of upper canines.

The labiolingual dimension of the crown is noticeably larger than the mesiodistal dimension. This oblong faciolingual outline is characteristic for mandibular canines.

The position of the distoincisal angle is lingual to the position of the cusp tip. This displacement gives the incisal part of the crown a slight distolingual twist like the mandibular lateral incisor.

The functional attrition of the incisal edges of canines is an important mark for identification. Due to the contacts between upper and lower canines in function, their incisal edges are subjected to wear in a specific pattern — maxillary canines demonstrate wear on the lingual side, and the mandibular canines — on the facial side of the incisal edge.
