1. cuspid

   In mammalian oral anatomy, the canine teeth, also called cuspids, dog teeth, or (in the context of the upper jaw) fangs, eye teeth, vampire teeth, or vampire fangs, are the relatively long, pointed teeth. They can appear more flattened however, causing them to resemble incisors and leading them to be called incisiform. They developed and are used primarily for firmly holding food in order to tear it apart, and occasionally as weapons. They are often the largest teeth in a mammal's mouth. Individuals of most species that develop them normally have four, two in the upper jaw and two in the lower, separated within each jaw by incisors; humans and dogs are examples. In most species, canines are the anterior-most teeth in the maxillary bone. The four canines in humans are the two maxillary canines and the two mandibular canines.

1. cuspid

   A cuspid is a type of tooth that is pointed for tearing food. In humans, cuspids are also known as canine teeth and are situated between the incisors and premolars. They are larger and longer than the other types of teeth. These teeth are used for gripping and tearing food. Some other animals, such as dogs and cats, have more pronounced cuspids for catching and killing prey. They are perhaps most recognized in popular culture as the sharp, elongated teeth in vampire mythology.
