Molars furcation locations?
Buccal and lingual about 1/2 way

Buccal and lingual about 1/2 way
Maxillary furcation locations
M= B-L ~2/3 toward palate; Buccal = midpoint M-D; Distal= midpoint B-L

Describe grades of Glickman furcations:
I: incipient but interradicular bone is intacts
II: Variable degree of bone loss in a furcation but not completely through
III: through and through with no recession
IV: same as III but recession and you can see through it now

Describe the Hamp classifications of furcations: (3)
Degree I: horizontal loss < 3 mm
Degree II: horizontal > 3mm but not total width
Degree III: through and through (same as glickman 3)

There is a higher prevalence in what mandibular molar?
1st molars have higher prevalence FI. 1st also have shorter root trunks.

List MAX roots shortest to longest
DB - MB - Palatal. HOWEVER, MB has the most surface area.

In mandibular molars, which root is normally longer?
Mesial = more surface area so you would want to remove the distal
