INBDE Practice Exam 2026 – Complete Study Guide

The mandibular canine is the only tooth with its root inclined mesially. This is due to the fact that the root of the tooth is located towards the front side of the mouth, closer to the midline of the face. The other options, such as the maxillary premolars and canine, have their roots pointed more towards the back side of the mouth, away from the midline. This makes the mandibular canine unique in its root inclination among these options.
