In the intercuspal position, which of the following anterior teeth has the potential of contacting both anterior and posterior antagonists?
Maxillary lateral incisor
Mandibular lateral incisor
Maxillary canine
Mandibular canine

the answer is mx canine, but how is that right? Can someone explain to me which teeth would be posterior and anterior antagonists to the Mx canine?

all other options contact one mesial and one distal antagonist. since they all have anterior antagonists.
max canine is the only one that has antagonist in both anterior and posterior segments.

thanks guys, the way i was reading the question was wrong...I was thinking of an antagonist that is posterior to it and anterior to it, so in essence was thinking which tooth can contact 3 others...
