Study Notes
Comparison of Maxillary Premolar Roots
- Maxillary premolar roots are shorter than those of canines.
Maxillary Premolars in Permanent Dentition
- There are 4 maxillary premolars in the permanent dentition.
Origin of Name "Premolars"
- Maxillary premolars are so named because they emerge after the primary molars in the eruption sequence.
Marginal Ridges of Maxillary Premolars
- The marginal ridges of maxillary premolars are more buccally positioned compared to those of incisors and canines.
Geometric Outline of Maxillary First Premolar
- The buccal aspect of the maxillary first premolar has a rhomboidal geometric outline form.
