It is basically a slanting of the teeth relative to the lips and nose. It's usually a result of facial asymmetries in the jaw.
The photo on the left is an example of an occlusal cant:

occlusal table means the area bounded by the cusp ridges and marginal ridges
In primary teeth, the ideal occlusal scheme is
Mesial Occlusal
"Occlusal" refers to the biting surface of teeth, while "contact point" refers to the area where adjacent teeth touch each other. Occlusal contact points are the specific spots where teeth come into contact during biting and chewing.
This is the Occlusal surface
Occlusal Orthodic Device
Yes, canines do have occlusal surfaces, though they are not as pronounced as those found in molars or premolars. The occlusal surface of a canine is more pointed and designed for tearing and holding food rather than grinding. This distinctive shape allows canines to effectively perform their role in the dental arch.

marginal ridges
A central fossa is formed in the occlusal surface when multiple cusps join together. This fossa provides a central depression where food can accumulate during chewing and aids in guiding the movement of the mandible during occlusion.
There are three types of impressions: 1)Preliminary, 2)Occlusal, and 3)Final. The preliminary is the first impression you would take, the occlusal is one to check the bite, and a final would be more detailed. :)
