mandibular pre-molars Flashcards
Functionally resembles canine;
mandib 1st pre-molar
mandib 1st pre-molar
no significant lingual cusp; shorter root
Larger crown and root than first premolar;
2nd mandib pre molar
functionally resembles molar
Mandibular Second Premolar
(One B cusp and one L cusp)
H and U type
mandib 2nd pre molar
most common type of Mandibular Second Premolar
Y-type
Y-type
One B cusp and two L cusps
leeway’s space
Space gained by the difference in mesiodistal dimensions of the premolars and the primary molars
sharp well defined cusp and similar to canine
buccal aspect of mandib 1st pre molar
tf mand 1st pre molar has a bell shaped crown
T
mesial ridge longer than distal ridge of mand 1st pre molar(buccal view)
f
shorter
mesial slope of mand 1st pre molar
has a concavity
tf mand 1t pre molar has no developmental depressions or concavities
f
Distinct facial lobes and developmental depressions
tf
CEJ is flat on mand 1st pre molar
F
CEJ slightly convex toward apex but less than anterior teeth
tf lingual cusps are huge on mand 1st pre molar
f they are small and permit occlusal surface to be visible
mesialdistally ligual surface narrower than buccal
mandibular 1st pre molar
tf
only 1 surface visible on lingual aspect of mand 1st premolar
F multiple surfaces
ridges visible on lingual aspect of mand 1st pre molar
buccle triangular rdge and transverse ridge
tf only distal marginal ridge visible from lingual aspct of mand 1st pre molar
f
distal and mesial
mand 1st premolar
Lingual height of contour almost —— on the crown
Lingual height of contour almost centered on the crown
unique to mandib 1st pre molar
Prominent mesiolingual developmental groove
mesial aspect of mand 1st pre molar
Crown inclines—– over the root
Crown inclines lingually over the root
tf short lingual cusp tipps the Occlusal plane is “tipped” lingually in mand 1st pre molat
T
tf
mesial marginal ridge of mand 1st pre molar
is perpendicular to long axis of tooth
f
mesial marginal ridge is the only marginal ridge of all posterior teeth not perpendicular to long axis of tooth
