Study Notes
Occlusal Surface
- The occlusal half of the surface is convex, but with a buccolingual flattening or slight concavity located cervical to the contact area.
Distal Aspect
- The mesial cusp tips project beyond the outline of the distal cusps on the occlusal outline.
Mesial Aspect
- The mesial surface is roughly trapezoidal in shape, wider at the cervical end than at the occlusal end.
- This shape is opposite to the buccal and lingual surfaces.
