- flattened/square to eliminate food impaction
- rounded to help form occlusal embrasures and improve food flow
- rounded to help form occlusal embrasures and decrease food impaction
- sharp-edhed to cut food better and decrease food impaction
- rounded and wide enough for strength and to provide an occlusal platform when there are opposing cusps
- rounded to help form occlusal embrasures and improve food flow
- rounded to help form occlusal embrasures and decrease food impaction
