4mm lingual

28
Q

How does the furcation of mandibular molars compare to maxillary molars?

A

It is closer to the cervical line in mandibular molars than in maxillary molars

29
Q

Which cusp is longer and more pointed from the mesial view: ML or MB?

A

Mesial Lingual cusp

30
Q

How is the crown oriented from the mesial view?

A

Tilted lingually

31
Q

Which root is broader and longer in mandibular 1st molars?

A

Mesial root

A

No

33
Q

What is the shape of the CEJ from the mesial view of mandibular 1st molars?

A

Slightly curved

34
Q

How does the crown appear from the distal view of mandibular 1st molars?

A

The crown is shorter, allowing more of the occlusal surface to be seen

35
Q

How does the distal root compare to the mesial root in mandibular 1st molars?

A

The distal root is smaller than the mesial root

36
Q

What can be seen behind the distal root from the distal view of mandibular 1st molars?

A

The wider mesial root

37
Q

What shape does the occlusal view of mandibular 1st molars resemble?

A

Pentagon

38
Q

How many triangular ridges are present on the mandibular 1st molar?

A

4

39
Q

What is the order of the cusps from highest to lowest in mandibular 1st molars?

A

ML > DL > MB > DB > D

40

A

2

45
Q

What are the three fossae of the mandibular 1st molar?

A
  1. Large central fossa/pit
  2. Smaller mesial triangular fossa/pit

What are the three grooves that branch off the central groove?

A

Llingua, Mesial and Distal grooves

51
Q

Where does the MB groove start and extend on mandibular 1st molars?

A

Starts at the central pit and extends/separates between the MB and DB cusps

52
Q

Where does the DB groove start and continue on mandibular 1st molars?

53
Q

Where does the lingual groove start and extend on mandibular 1st molars?

  2. Mesiolingual
  3. Distolingual
57
Q

What are the two marginal grooves on mandibular 1st molars?

A
  1. Distal
  2. Mesial
58
Q

Why is the mandibular 1st molar important in occlusion?

A

Its role is crucial, as its loss can significantly affect occlusion.

59
Q

Why is the mandibular 1st molar more likely to be lost?

A

It is the first permanent tooth to erupt into the oral cavity, making it more susceptible to damage or decay.

60
Q

Why are buccal pits on mandibular 1st molars at increased risk of caries?

A

Due to increased dental biofilm retention and the thinness of enamel forming the walls of the pit.

61
Q

What is the stamp cusp of the mandibular 1st molar?

A

Buccal
