Study Notes
Upper Central Incisors
- Crown enamel margin undulates mesially and distally
- One single, tapering root
- One root canal with two pulp horns: one mesial and one distal
- Cingulum is convex and forms near the gingival margin
- Cingulum pit is located above the cingulum
Upper First Premolar
- Palatal cusp is smaller and narrower
- Tip of palatal cusp is displaced mesially when viewed from the palatal side
- One central groove, and two fossae inside the marginal ridges
- Mesial root surface has a developmental groove between the two cusps
- Canine fossa is a hollow concavity on the mesial root surface which houses the bulge distally on the canine
Upper Third Molar (18;28)
- Occlusal shape is triangular and often with only three cusps: palatal, mesio-buccal, and disto-buccal
- Often has three fused roots with three root canals, roots often curve distally
- Can be very varied in shape, cusp form, and number of cusps
Lower First Molar (36;46)
- Has five cusps: three buccal and two lingual
- Distal cusp is displaced onto the distal surface
- Mesio-buccal cusp is larger than the disto-buccal cusp
- Distal cusp is the smallest cusp
- Two developmental grooves buccally between the cusps, of which the mesial groove is deeper and longer
- Mesio-lingual cusp is larger than disto-lingual cusp
- Occlusally, the cusps interdigitate, and the central groove zig-zags between them
- Overall crown shape viewed occlusally is oval
- Two roots, mesial and distal
- Three or four root canals & five pulp horns
- Mesial root is wider and often has a marked central groove
- Developmental grooves on the mesial root
- Distal cusp is visible distally
- Very short marginal ridge to the lingual side of the distal cusp
- Distal root is narrower and usually without a groove
Lower Second Molar (37;47)
- Four cusps: two buccal and two lingual
- Mesio-buccal cusp is higher than disto-buccal cusp
- Mesio-lingual cusp is higher than disto-lingual cusp
- Overall occlusal shape is rectangular
- Buccal and lingual cusp tips are opposite each other
- Cross-shaped groove pattern
- Wider mesially than distally
- Two roots: one mesial and one distal
- Mesial root is wider and often grooved
- Buccal surface is curved
- Lingual surface is straighter
- Distal root is narrower
- Three to four root canals and four pulp horns
- Deeper lingual groove than buccal groove
- Fossae present
