max molars Flashcards
Largest crown in mouth
Maxillary First Molar
anchor tooth of maxillary dentition
Maxillary First Molar
Maxillary First Molar
presents basic pattern for permanent maxillary molars
type 5 and 6 vertucci

vertucci 7 and 8

(59.87%) were Vertucci type 4
max 1st molar
—– have some of the highest failure rates in endodontic treatment due to the presence of a second canal in the mesiobuccal root that the clinician fails to detect, debride and obturate.
maxillary molars have some of the highest failure rates in endodontic treatment due to the presence of a second canal in the mesiobuccal root that the clinician fails to detect, debride and obturate.
Carabelli Cusp usually absent
in Max second molar
max second molar –> different from 1st molar
size is smaller with the three roots closer together
Trapezoidal crown outline form
Maxillary First Molar(buccal)
Crown slightly shorter occlusocervically than teeth anterior to it
max 1st molar
(buccal)
tf
Maxillary First Molar have Two buccal cusps separated by buccal groove
t
buccal groove of max 1st molar
extends halfway up the buccal side
deepest part of depression on buccal surface of
Maxillary First Molar
ocasonal pit
which cusp is larger on buccal side of Maxillary First Molar
MB or DB
MB cusp
sharper and longer cusp on buccal side of
Maxillary First Molar
MB or DB
DB
MB cusp slopes more or less inclined than DB
(Buccal (Facial) Aspect: of max 1st molar)
less
forms an obtuse angle
forms 90 degrees
DB cusps on max 1st pre molar
Facial (buccal) cervical ridge
passes mesiodistally across cervical third of crown
(buccal aspect of max 1st molar)
is convex and flatter
mesial vs distal profile of max 1st molar
mesial profile of max 1st molar
Distal crown profile convex with concavity in cervical third continuing on root
max 1st molar
tf Buccal CEJ of max 1st molar
more convex than teeth anterior to it
f
Buccal CEJ much flatter than teeth anterior to it
CEJ of Maxillary First Molar
may dip toward area of buccal furcation
