What is located mesial of maxillary canine and distal to mandibular canine in primary dentition?

Primate space
Leeway space
Intercanine space
Molar region

The correct answer is: Primate space

The primate space is located between the maxillary canine, which is the second tooth from the midline in the upper jaw, and the mandibular canine, which is the second tooth from the midline in the lower jaw. This space is not present in the permanent dentition, but is seen in the primary dentition as a space between the primary incisors and canines. This is a natural space that allows room for the larger permanent canines. The leeway space (B) is located behind the primary molars and is also only present in the primary dentition. The intercanine space (C) is found between the primary canines and is not mesial to the maxillary canine. The molar region (D) is not mentioned in the question and is not a relevant choice for this answer.
