Maxillary Molars Flashcards
1
Q
- Which cusp of the maxillary molar diminishes in size the most from a 1st to 2nd to 3rd molar?
A
- DL cusp
2
Q
- What are the relative sizes of cusps of a maxillary 1st molar, largest to smallest?
A
- ML >MB > DB > DL
3
Q
- From which proximal view of a maxillary 1st molar are the distal cusps not visible?
a. Why?
A
- Mesial view, cusps are larger
4
Q
- From which proximal view of a maxillary molar is more of the occlusal table visible?
a. Why?
A
- Distal
5
Q
- From which view of a maxillary molar are only two roots visible?
a. Why?
A
- Mesial
6
Q
- Which root of a maxillary 1st molar is wider MD than FL?
A
- MD = palatal , FL = MB
7
Q
- Which is the sharpest cusp of the maxillary 1st molar?
A
- DB cusp
8
Q
- What are the relative sizes of the root sizes of the maxillary first molar, smallest to largest?
A
- Palatal > MB > DB
9
Q
- Where is the buccal pit of a maxillary 1st molar located, OC?
A
- Middle 1/3
10
Q
- Where is the bifurcation of the two buccal roots of a maxillary 1st molar typically occur?
A
- Middle 1/3 of root and centered MD
11
Q
- From which view (facial or lingual), are the proximal crown surfaces of a maxillary 1st molar visible?
A
- Distal
12
Q
- Which cusp is typically found only on maxillary 1st molars?
A
- Cusp of Carabelli

a. Maxillary 2nd molar?
A
1 (one oblique ridge)
a. 2
14
Q
- How many triangular ridges would a maxillary 1st molar have?
a. Which cusp has two?
A
4-5
a. ML
15
Q
- From an occlusal view, where is the buccal bulge located, MD?
A
- Mesial to midline and in line with MB cusp
