Study Notes
Mandibular 1st Molar
- Has five developmental lobes
Mandibular Molar Radiograph
- Only one root is visible on the mandibular molar from the mesial proximal view
Lower 6th Molar
- Central fossa is oval in shape
Upper 6th Molar
- Fifth cusp is located on the distal surface
Upper 7th Molar
- Roots are inclined distally
Upper Molars
- Cusp of Carabelli is the most likely rudimentary cusp
Third Molars
- Obtain a rhomboidal shape due to their many supplemental grooves
Upper 6th Molar Occlusal Surface
- Has four major fossae: central, mesial, distal, and lateral
- Minor fossae include: antero-central, postero-central, mesio-central, and disto-central
Upper 8th Molar Occlusal Surface
- Is rhomboidal in shape
Upper First Molar Identification
- Can be identified by its rhomboidal shape with four major fossae
