60
Q

Describe the lingual aspect of mandibular second premolars

A
  1. Shows much variation because of the two different cusp forms

Everything below is compared to mandibular first premolar:
2. Lingual are lobes are developed to a greater degree
3. At least one lingual cusp is longer than a lingual cusp of a first premolar
4. Three cusp form - mesolingual and distolingual cusps are present
5. Mesiolingual cusp is usually the wider and longer of the two cusps, which are divided by a lingual groove
6. In the two cusp form - the single lingual lobe is higher than on a mandibular first premolar
7. No groove is on the lingual lobe in the three cusp form
8. Developmental depression can be seen distolingually where the lingual cusp ridge joins the distal marginal ridge
9. The lingual surface of the root is wider than that of a first premolar
10. The lingual portion of the crown and root is slightly convex

61
Q

Describe the mesial aspect of a mandibular second premolar

A
  1. The second premolar differs mesially from a first premolar in the following ways:
    1. The buccal cusp is shorter and its tip is located more to the buccal side
    2. The crown and root are wider buccolingually
    3. The lingual lobe shows more development
    4. The mesial marginal ridge is more developed (higher)
    5. There is no mesiolingual developmental groove
62
Q

  1. Similar to the mesial except the distal marginal ridge is at a slightly lower level and more of the occlusal surface can be seen
63
Q

Describe the occlusal aspect of a 3 cusp mandibular second premolar

A
  1. The three cusp type with two lingual cusps is the most common form
  2. Each of the three cusps has a well-developed triangular ridge running toward the center of the occlusal surface
  3. The facial cusp is the largest and the distolingual is the smallest
  4. The y groove pattern is associated with this tooth; it is the most common groove form (the three developmental grooves are the mesial, to still, and lingual - generally, the second premolars have more secondary groups than the first)
  5. Mesial and distal fossa are present and pits in these fossa are commonly found - usually there is a central pit
64
Q

Describe the occlusal aspect of a mandibular second premolar with two cusps

A
  1. In the two cusp form, as compared with the three cusp form, the following observations can be noted:
    1. The occlusal outline of the crown is more rounded
    2. The lingual surface of the crown is more convex and tapers towards the lingual
    3. No lingual developmental groove is present
    4. There is a well-developed lingual cusp located directly opposite the buckle cusp
    5. Usually no Central pit is present; a mesial or distal pit is much more likely
  2. In the two cusp type, the groove pattern can either be a U (sometimes called a C) or an H groove pattern (much more common)
  3. The pattern depends on whether the central developmental groove is straight mesiodistally or curves buccally at its ends
  4. The central groove separates the two triangular ridges and terminates into a mesial and distal fossa
65

  6. The pulp horns are more pointed than in the mandibular first premolar
  7. A single root canal is present with even less tendency to have divided root canals
