A

The incisal view
Incisal ridge divided into mesial and distal slopes. The shorter, more horizontal, mesial slope meets the longer, steeper, distal ridge to form an obtuse (blunt) angle at a cusp tip.
The tip is less pointed and may be more lingually placed than maxillary canine. The distal surface is convex, giving a rounded crown profile, in the incisal two thirds (slightly concave in the cervical third).
The mesial surface is approximately a straight line and continuous with the mesial surface of the root.
Crown appears to lean distally in relation to the root.

Pentagon outline (five-cusped).
Largest occlusal outline of all mandibular teeth.
The crown is longer mesio-distally in comparison to its bucco-lingual width (unlike maxillary molars) and is longer on the buccal surface than the lingual surface with the mesial and distal surfaces converging towards the lingual.
The crown of a first molar also tapers and converges towards the distal surface.

Describe the cusp form of this tooth from the occlusal view

A

Mesial and distal buccal are the same height
They are separated by a mesio-buccal groove which ends in a buccal pit
A disto-buccal groove separates these from the minor distal cusp. Two major lingual cusps Mesial Lingual, Distal Lingual.
The Mesial Buccal cusp is wider than either of the lingual cusps, which are about the same size
The Distal Buccal cusp is the smallest of the four major cusps, and the distal is the smallest of all five major cusps. The lingual cusps tend to be taller and more pointed; the tips of the buccal cusps are displaced lingually, are rounded, and are lower than the lingual cusps. The mesial marginal ridge is taller than the distal ridge.

141
Q

Open photos and look at picture 16
Describe the cusp form of this tooth

A

Four major cusps with The cusps are separated by irregular H-shaped occlusal fissure. The MP cusp is the largest, the DP is the smallest. The MP cusp is blunt and occupies most of the palatal surface (3/5 of palatal surface). The palatal cusp tips are closer to the midline of the tooth than the buccal cusps. The buccal cusp tips appear more prominent than the palatal.
The occlusal surface is divided into two parts by an oblique ridge running diagonally from the MP to the DB cusp. The larger mesial part is triangular in outline with a central fossa. The distal part contains the distal-palatal cusp and fissure (which runs from palatal groove & ends in distal pit).
