Morphological diversity of saber‐tooth upper canines and its functional implications
Abstract Elongated upper canine teeth, commonly known as saber‐teeth, have evolved three times within the sub‐order Feliformia. The species that wielded them flourished throughout the Cenozoic and have historically been separated into two morphological groups: the dirk‐tooths with longer, flatter canines, and the scimitar‐tooths with shorter, serrated ...

Hyaenodontidae of the upper Eocene of California [PDF]
Since the announcement(1) of the discovery of upper Eocene mammals in the Sespe deposits north of the Simi Valley, California, excavations have been continued in these beds, particularly at Locality 150 C. I. T. Vert.

The purpose was to analyze the direction of the infraorbital canal and the palatal width in cases with maxillary ectopic canines, all oriented horizontally and erupted labially, and with canine transposition and to compare findings with normal values.

The effect of buccal corticotomy on accelerating orthodontic tooth movement of maxillary canine
Background: Selective alveolar corticotomy is defined as an intentional injury to cortical bone. This technique is an effective means of accelerating orthodontic tooth movement.

Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths
Abstract Hypercanines are here defined as hypertrophied caniniform teeth, that is, canine teeth that are elongated to serve specific functions in different clades of mammals and their synapsid ancestors. This article presents an overview of the occurrence of hypercanines, their growth, and their function across a broad range of clades.

DynaDog+T: A Parametric Animal Model for Synthetic Canine Image Generation [PDF]
Synthetic data is becoming increasingly common for training computer vision models for a variety of tasks. Notably, such data has been applied in tasks related to humans such as 3D pose estimation where data is either difficult to create or obtain in realistic settings.

Predictors of root resorption associated with maxillary canine impaction in panoramic images.
OBJECTIVES The aim was to identify a prediction model for root resorption (RR) caused by impacted canines based on radiographic variables assessed on 2D panoramic radiographs with the intention to reduce the need for additional cone beam computed ...

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis
Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.

Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.
