At approximately what age do maxillary permanent canines typically erupt according to the data?

• A. 6 years
• B. 7 years
• C. 11 years
• D. 17 years

Answer: (C)

Maxillary permanent canines tend to erupt later than the front teeth because they have a longer eruption path. The typical timing shown in eruption data is around 11 years, with some individuals erupting a bit later (around 11–12). Among the given ages, 11 years best matches this standard window. Ages like 6 or 7 are earlier (they correspond to eruption of incisors and other first-permanent teeth in early mixed dentition), while 17 years is well beyond the usual eruption period for canines.
