Study Notes

Occlusal Surface

The occlusal half of the surface is convex, but has a buccolingual flattening or slight concavity cervical to the contact area.

Mesial Surface

The mesial surface exhibits a roughly trapezoidal shape that is wider at the cervical than at the occlusal.
The surface is wider at the cervical than at the occlusal due to the general convergence of both the buccal and lingual surfaces toward the occlusal.
