Which tooth has the tallest crown?

Mandibular canine
Maxillary central
Maxillary canine
Mandibular first molar

The correct answer is: Mandibular canine

The tooth with the tallest crown is the maxillary canine. The canine teeth in the maxilla are typically longer and have a more pronounced cusp tip compared to other teeth. This anatomical feature allows them to be more efficient in tearing and cutting food. In contrast, the mandibular canine, maxillary central, and mandibular first molar have shorter crowns compared to the maxillary canine, making them not the correct choice for the tooth with the tallest crown.
