Q

5 permanent maxillary canine attributes

A
  1. Extremely important to a patient’s smile & overall esthetic appearances
  2. Possesses very consistent and well-developed anatomy
  3. Seldom has a bifurcated root
  4. From facial aspect, the crown has a decidedly trapezoidal-shaped form
  5. Long roots with root surface depressions make this tooth exceptionally difficulty to remove

Q

Permanent Maxillary Second Premolar: (OCCLUSAL) T or F, Triangular ridges are approximately the same length and the point at which they meet is located slightly lingual to the bisector of the crown.

A

true

22
Q

Permanent Maxillary Second Premolar: (OCCLUSAL) T or F, There is often a true, continuous transverse ridge since the two triangular ridges are separated by a central groove

A

False, Rarely this will occur

23
Q

Permanent Mandibular First Premolar: (MESIAL) Where is the lingual cusp tip positioned?

A

It is positioned so that it is not supported by the root structure. In fact, the lingual cusp tip is actually more lingually positioned than the confines of the lingual root surface

24
Q

Permanent mandibular First Premolar: (OCCLUSAL) Describe the bottom of the mesial triangular fossa

A
  • It has a mesial groove at the bottom of it that is linear in shape and is continuous with the mesiolingual groove
25
Q

Permanent mandibular First Premolar: (OCCLUSAL) the mesial groove is continous with what?

A

the mesiolingual groove

26
Q

Permanent mandibular second Premolar: (OCCLUSAL) Outline is what shape?

A

External occlusal outline geometric shape can be either square or five-sided (Pentagonal), depending on whether the outline of the facial ridge is utilized in the diagram

27
Q

Permanent Maxillary First molars: (LINGUAL) At what angle do the mesial cuspal ridge of the mesiolingual cusp meet the mesial outline of the crown?

A

At a 90 degree right angle

28
Q

permanent maxillary First Molars: (DISTAL) The outline of the lingual root is what shape? How is the apex of the lingual root positioned?

A
  • Banana shaped (similar to that seen from mesial view)

- Apex is vertically positioned between the greatest lingual contour of the crown and the tip of the DISTOLINGUAL CUSP

29
Q

Permanent Maxillary First Molars: (OCCLUSAL) The low point of the oblique ridge is at the same level as the depth of what ridges?

A

The mesial and distal marginal ridges

30
Q

Permanent Maxillary Second Molars: (OCCLUSAL) Which cusp is the most lingually and distally placed cusp?

A

The distolingual cusp

31
Q

Permanent Maxillary Second Molars: (OCCLUSAL) What extends from the distal triangular pit in a lingual direction parallel to the oblique ridge and continues onto the lingual surface as the lingual groove

A

The distal oblique groove

32
Q

Permanent mandibular First Molar: (OCCLUSAL) Which half of the crown is wider between facial and lingual halves? Why?

A

The facial half of the crown is much wider than lingual half, because of the three facial cusps.

33
Q

Permanent Mandibular First Molar: (OCCLUSAL) Describe the central groove

A

It runs mesiodistally in an irregular direction across the occlusal surface from the mesial triangular pit through the central fossa to the distal triangular pit.

34
Q

Permanent Mandibular First Molar: (OCCLUSAL) Describe the lingual groove

A

Starts in the central pit and travels minimally over to the lingual surface

35
Q

Permanent Mandibular Second Molar: (OCCLUSAL) Where is the greatest faciolingual measurement? Why?

A

It is in the mesial half of crown because the cervical ridge is more prominent on the mesiofacial cusp

36
Q

Permanent Mandibular Second Molar: (OCCLUSAL) Describe how the facial groove, lingual groove and central groove come together?

A

they come together at right angles dividing occlusal surface into mesial and distal halves. They make a cross sign (+)

37
