erupt
10-12yrs
root complete
12-13yrs
The lingual cusp is….
afunctional (due to how small it is)
Facial view: outline shape
pentagonal
Facial view: the crown tapers…
lingually
Facial view: height of contour
cervical 3rd
Facial view: which cusp ridge is shorter?
mesial
Facial view: mesial and distal contact areas
junction of occlusal and middle 3rds
*mesial contact slightly more cervical
Facial view: facial cusp
-slightly toward mesial (due to longer distal ridge)
-more rounded than canine
Facial view: facial ridge
prominent w/ mesiobuccal and distobuccal developmental depressions
Lingual view: lingual cusp
smaller, afunctional
offset to mesial
*can see facial cusp from this view
*narrower than facial view
Lingual view: height of contour
middle 3rd
Lingual view: mesiolingual developmental groove
*identifying feature
-separates MMR from lingual cusp
-originates from mesial pit
Proximal view: outline shape
rhomboidal
*lingually inclined
