The mesial marginal ridge is located at the junction of the occlusal and middle thirds.

The maxillary first premolar usually does not feature a mesiolingual developmental groove (MLDG).

The measurement from the tip of the buccal cusp to the tip of the lingual cusp is equal to the buccolingual measurement of the root at its cervical portion.
