primary molars
premolars unique function

premolars help support the blank of the mouth and blank
corners, cheeks
blank lobes for premolars

exception of maxillary first premolar
mesial cusp ridge longer than the distal
instead of labial ridge, we have a blank ridge on premolars
buccal
maxillary second premolar has a cusp tip placed slightly to the blank
mesial
maxillary first premolar has a mesial blank
concavity
root is called the blank until it splits
root trunk
webbing between roots of the teeth
inter radicular groove
maxillary second premolars have a blank shape and usually has blank roots
trapezoid, one
maxillary second premolar does not have a blank
mesial concavity
these descend from the cusp tips of posterior teeth toward the central area of the occlusal surface
triangular ridge
combination of two triangular ridges
transverse ridge
not all triangular ridges blank because they have to be right across from each other
form transverse ridges
