    Study Notes

    Premolars (Bicuspids) Characteristics

    • Premolars, also known as bicuspids, have 2 cusps.
    • The function of premolars is to aid in food grinding and crushing.

    • The upper 1st premolar has a specific contact pattern: mesially with the distal surface of the canine and distally with the mesial surface of the 2nd premolar.

    Upper 1st Premolar Development

    • The first evidence of calcification of the upper 1st premolar appears at 13/4 years.
