    Study Notes

    Maxillary Second Premolar

    • FDI: 15 and 25
    • Very similar in appearance to the maxillary first premolar
    • Presents with two cusps: buccal and palatal orientation, but most likely with only one root
    • Complements the maxillary first premolar in function
    • Rounder, less angular appearance
    • Single root
    • Stronger and heavier tooth
    • Occlusally more wrinkled appearance
    • May be congenitally missing

    Mandibular First Premolar

    • 4th tooth from the midline
    • FDI: 34 and 44
    • The smallest premolar
    • First of the posterior mandibular teeth
    • Two cusps: buccal and lingual (small, afunctional) and usually one root
    • There is a transverse ridge that extends from the buccal cusp tip to the lingual cusp tip

    Mandibular Second Premolar

    • 5th tooth from the midline
    • FDI: 35 and 45
    • Larger than the first premolar and functions similarly to a molar
    • Can present with 2 cusps: buccal and lingual or 3 cusps: 1 buccal and 2 lingual
    • Usually single root

    Maxillary First Permanent Molar

    • First of the molar teeth
    • FDI: 16 and 26
    • Well developed occlusal surface with four well defined cusps
    • Presents with three well developed large roots: palatal, mesio-buccal and disto-buccal
    • Presents with 3 major cusps, 1 minor cusp and often 1 supplementary cusp: cusp of Carabelli
    • Orientation: 2 buccal and 2 palatal
    • Supplementary cusp, if present, is on the palatal surface of the mesiopalatal cusp (in about 60% of teeth)

    Maxillary Second and Third Molars

    • FDI: 17 and 27
    • Slightly smaller than the 1st maxillary molar
    • Shows similar features to the maxillary first molar
    • Supplements the function of the maxillary first molar
    • Shows more variation in form than the 1st maxillary molar and more supplementary grooves and pits

    Maxillary Third Molar

    • FDI: 18 and 28
    • Complements the set of upper permanent molars in form and function
    • If present may show a great range of variation in form
    • Often impacted and displaced
    • May be congenitally missing
    • Display the greatest variation in form of all teeth
    • Smaller than the second maxillary molar
    • Roots are shorter than the second maxillary molar
    • Roots are often fused
    • Crown is smaller, often triangular or heart shaped
    • Lots of supplementary grooves

    Mandibular First Molar

    • Shares the same traits as maxillary molars - largest in the arch
    • FDI: 46 and 36
    • Presents with five cusps and two roots
    • Likely the largest tooth in the dentition
    • Accessional
    • 2 buccal and 2 lingual major cusps
    • Two roots: mesial and distal orientation
    • Roots inclined distally
    • Crown height is smaller than that of the premolar but every other measurement is larger

    Corrosion

    • Types:
      • Dry Corrosion
      • Wet Corrosion
      • Stress Corrosion
      • Galvanic Corrosion
      • Crevice Corrosion
      • Concentration Cell Corrosion
    • Materials:
      • Metals: dry corrosion, wet corrosion
      • Polymers: chain scission, absorption/adsorption, dissolution
      • Ceramics: hydrolytic attack, dissolution
    • Consequences:
      • Pain due to galvanic effect
      • Metallic taste due to the release of ions
      • Deterioration in appearance and mechanical properties
      • Increased body burden of metallic ions such as nickel and mercury
      • Tissue discoloration of hard and soft tissue
    • Elimination:
      • Homogenising treatment of alloys eliminates the possibility of chemical corrosion in metals
      • Finishing and polishing the surfaces of restoration can eliminate crevice corrosion
      • Avoiding close contact between dissimilar metals in the mouth to avoid galvanic effects and corrosion

    Conventional Dental Amalgam

    • Dimensional change of setting reaction

    • Comparison to lathe cut:

      • Reach full strength more quickly
      • Easier to carve and polish
      • Lower mercury content
      • Difficult condensation
      • Creep: Y2 is responsible for high value of creep
