Q

Maxillary First Molar
MESIAL VIEW

A

Larger than distal surface

L root-widely DIVERGED

MB root-wide bc of 2 root canals, root depression

3mm root trunk

ML cusp centered on root trunk

Contact: jxn of occlusal third and middle third

18
Q

Maxillary first molar cusp size
Greater to smallest

A

ML, MB, DB, DL, caribelli
Counterclockwise

19
Q

Maxillary First Molar
DISTAL VIEW

A

5mm root trunk

L root, DB root, MB root also visible since it’s so wide

Contact: middle third

DM ridge shorter so occlusal table is visible

20

Most complex table

Bulky M

Triangular ridges of DB and ML form oblique ridge

Developmental grooves

Primary cusp triangle
MB, ML, DB

21

One orifice for L, MB, DB
2 orifice for MB (2 root canals)

22
Q

ML wider and taller

Lingual developmental groove

24
Q

Maxillary Second Molar
MESIAL VIEW

A

2 cusps
MB, ML

2 roots
MB, L

CEJ straight line

Roots close together do not diverge within crown

MMR perpendicular to long axis of tooth

Contact: middle third

25
Q

Maxillary Second Molar
DISTAL VIEW

3 roots visible
L, MB, DB

All cusps visible

NO Concavity

26
Q

Maxillary Second Molar
OCCLUSAL VIEW

A

Heart shape when missing DL cusp

Less complex vs 1st

ML LARGEST cusp

Primary triangle

Crown converged dramatically to lingual

27
Q

Maxillary Second Molar
CROSS SECTION

A

WIDER BUCCALINGUALLY THAN MESIODISTALLY

one orifice, one root canal

28
Q

Maxillary Third Molar

A

BUCCAL-3 cusps
Small round short
Compound root (fused)

LINGUAL-curves distally toward roots

MESIAL-CEJ is irregular, root splits at tip

DISTAL-DM ridge is short

OCCLUSAL-Heart shape, wrinkled, converge lingual distally

CROSS SECTION-wide BL than MD, orifice varies

29
Q

Mandibular First Molar
BUCCAL VIEW

A

CROWN AND ROOT TAPER TOWARD DISTAL

3mm root trunk

Lingual cusps taller than Buccal

MB groove could possibly end in a pit

DB groove faded gradually

M root longer than D (looks like banana)

30
Q

Mandibular First Molar is largest tooth in the ___?

A

Jaw

31
Q

The molars are less divergent as they go down

A
32
Q

Mandibular First Molar
LINGUAL VIEW

A

Can’t see buccal cusps

Only ML (taller and sharper) and DL

Lingual developmental groove separates cusps

4mm root trunk

33
Q

Mandibular First Molar
MESIAL VIEW

A

MB root wider and taller- has 2 root canals

Root concavity bc of 2 root canals

ML cusp taller than MB
