cusps
How many cusps do canines have?
1

2 or 3
How many cusps do most molars have?
3-5
linear prominences of enamel
ridges
form mesial and distal borders of enamel on lingual surfaces of anterior and/or occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth
marginal ridges
located on major cusps of posterior teeth and extend from a cusp toward the depression near the middle of the occlusal surface faciolingually
triangular ridges
when a triangular ridge from a buccal cusp joins with a triangular ridge from a lingual cusp, these two ridges together from a longer ridge
transverse ridge
found only on maxillary molars, ridge crosses the occlusal surface obliquely and is made up of one ridge on the mesiolingual cusp joining with the triangular ridge of the distobuccal cusp
oblique ridge
run cervio-occlusally on the buccal surfaces of premolars or molars
buccal ridge
run from canine cusps toward CEJ on the facial surface
labial ridge
extends lingually toward the cingulum
lingual ridge
prominence or bulge in the cervical third of the lingual surface of the crown of incisors
cingulum
the broad v shaped depression or valley on the occlusal surface of each posterior tooth running mesiodistally between the buccal and lingual cusps
sulcus
a linear channel often found between cusps in the depth of the sulcus and between ridges
grooves
separate cusps and other major portions of a tooth formed from developmental lobes
developmental grooves
developmental groove that separates the buccal from the lingual cusps and is located near the buccolingual center of the tooth sulcus
central groove
irregular grooves branching from developmental grooves
supplemental grooves
shallow depressions located at the mesial and distal ends of the central groove on each posterior tooth within the occlusal table and next to the mesial and distal marginal ridges
fossae
small depression at the depth of the fossae where developmental grooves form
pit
found at the depth of fossae and grooves, caused by incomplete fusion of enamel during tooth formation
