8. Mx Premolars Flashcards
Facial: 1st Premolar
The facial outline shape is _
trapezoidal
Facial: 1st Premolar
The mesial and distal contours are markedly _
convex
Facial: 1st Premolar
Cusp tip is pointed and will be slightly _ to the mesiodistal long axis bisector, making it the only permanent tooth with the mesial cuspal ridge _ than the distal cuspal ridge
distal
longer
Facial: 1st Premolar
Mesial proximal contact is more _ placed than the distal (both are in the middle 1/3)
cervically
Facial: 1st Premolar
The mesial outline of the crown between the mesial proximal contact and CEJ is said to be slightly _ while the distal is more _
concave
convex
Facial: 1st Premolar
The apex of the cervical line is relatively straight but can sometimes be _ to the MD long axis bisector
distal
Facial: 1st Premolar
Root is bifurcated with the _ root being wider than the _
facial
lingual
Lingual: 1st Premolar
Lingual cusp tip is less pointed and _ shorter than the facial cusp tip
1 mm
Lingual: 1st Premolar
Lingual cusp tip is slightly _ to MD bisector
mesial
Mesial: 1st Premolar
Greatest contour facially is in the _ third while lingually it is in the _ third
Cervical
middle
Mesial: 1st Premolar
FL width of the occlusal table is about _ that of the total FL width
1/2
Mesial: 1st Premolar
The triangular ridges converge at a point slightly _ to the FL bisector and are approximately the same length
lingual
Mesial: 1st Premolar
T/F The slope of the triangular ridges towards the central groove is the steepest of any other tooth
True
Mesial: 1st Premolar
The MMR has a crest almost perpendicular to the FL bisector and is called the _
mesial marginal developmental groove
Mesial: 1st Premolar
The area of the crown cervical to the mesial contact will be slightly _
concave
Mesial: 1st Premolar
FL measurement of the root trunk is about _ shorter than the overall FL measurement
1mm
Mesial: 1st Premolar
This tooth can have one root but will always have _ root canals and _ apical foramina
2
2
Distal: 1st Premolar
The crest of the DMR is more _ positioned than the MMR
cervically
Distal: 1st Premolar
Distal contact is facial to FL bisector but will be slightly _ on tooth occlusally and _ than the mesial contact
higher
wider
Distal: 1st Premolar
Area below the distal contact is smoothly _
convex
Distal: 1st Premolar
Root depression is absent and does not extend across cervical line, root trunk is even said to be _ in the cervical 1/3
convex
Distal: 1st Premolar
T/F The cervical line has very little or no curvature (Zero)
True
