What is the eruption pattern of mandibular permanent teeth (according to the palmer numbering system)
(6-1) –> 2 –> 3 –> 4 –> 5 –> 7 –> 8
(6-1) –> 2 –> 4 –> 3 –> 5 –> 7 –> 8
What is the eruption pattern of maxillary permanent teeth (according to the palmer numbering system)
6 –> 1 –> 2 –> 4 –> 3 –> 5 –> 7 –> 8
6 –> 1 –> 2 –> 4 –> 5 –> 3 –> 7 –> 8
Which permanent teeth begin calcification at birth
1st molars
how does the faciolingual aspect compare to the mesiodistal aspect of ALL premolars
The faciolingual aspect of ALL PREMOLARS is greater than the mesiodistal aspect
How does the size proximal contacts of premolars compare to the size of proximal contacts anterior teeth
they have broader contact areas than the anterior teeth
How does the cervical line of the premolars compare to the cervical lines of anterior teeth
the cervical line is much flatter on the premolars than the anterior teeth
What is the shape of the premolars from the facial view, not including cusp tips?
trapezoidal
For all 4 of the different types of premolars, what are the relative length of buccal cusp ridges (are mesial cusp ridges or distal cusp ridges longer)
Maxillary 1st - MESIAL CUSP RIDGE IS LONGER
Maxillary 2nd - distal cusp ridge is longer
Mandibular 1st - distal cusp ridge is longer
Mandibular 2nd - distal cusp ridge is longer
Which premolar has a mesial cusp ridge of the buccal cusp that is longer than the distal cusp ridge of the buccal cusp
The maxillary first premolar
Where is the buccal cusp tip of the maxillary first premolar located relative to the long axis of the root
it is located slightly to the distal. (this is because it has a longer mesial cusp ridge than its distal cusp ridge)
What is the only permanent tooth with the mesial cusp ridge being longer than the distal cusp ridge
the maxillary 1st premolar
What are the buccal cusp tips like on the 4 different premolars
Maxillary 1st - relatively pointed
Maxillary 2nd - less pointed/more rounded
Mandibular 1st - relatively pointed
Mandibular 2nd - less angulation/less pointed
Which of the 4 premolars is relatively symmetrical from the buccal view
mandibular first premolar
What are the developmental depressions and buccal ridges like on the 4 types of premolars
Maxillary 1st - prominent and noticeable
Maxillary 2nd - less defined
Mandibular 1st - not as prominent and noticeable as the max 1st but more than the others
Mandibular 2nd - less defined
Where are the mesial and distal proximal contacts located on the 4 types of premolars
Maxillary 1st - Both in the middle third, mesial is more cervical
Maxillary 2nd - both in the middle third, both at the same height
Mandibular 1st - both in middle third
Mandibular 2nd - both in the middle third
Which of the 4 premolar types has a concavity when looking at it from the facial view on the mesial outline of the crown between the medial contact area and the cervical line
the maxillary 1st
What other tooth besides the maxillary first premolar has a concavity on the mesial side, near its cervical line
maxillary canines
Which of the 4 types of premolars usually has a bifurcated root
the maxillary 1st
Which root of the maxillary 1st premolar is usually wider
the facial root
Which of the 4 premolars has an occlusal table that slants vertically
the mandibular first
How do the lingual and buccal cusps of the 4 types of premolars compare to each other (lingual and buccal cusps of the same tooth)
Maxillary 1st - lingual is shorter and more narrow, and THE CUSP TIPS ARE ON OPPOSITE SIDES of the root
Maxillary 2nd - lingual is slightly SMALLER, but CLOSE TO THE SAME SIZE, and they are aligned on the long axis so the cusp ridges are parallel
Mandibular 1st - lingual cusp is MUCH shorter, and both are aligned on the long axis of the tooth
Mandibular 2nd - can have one or two lingual cusps. will be shorter and smaller than the buccal cusps
which of the 4 premolar types can have two lingual cusps instead of just one lingual cusp
the mandibular 2nd
how to the two lingual cusps of the mandibular 2nd premolar compare to each other
the mesiolingual cusp is taller and wider than the distolingual cusp
Which of the 4 types of premolars has a lingual cusp that is almost like a cingulum
the mandibular 1st
Which of the 4 types of premolars from the proximal views have cusp tips that are located within the confines of the root trunk
the maxillary first
Which of the 4 types of premolars from the proximal views have a lingual cusp tip that is in line with the lingual root outline, and have a buccal cusp tip that is centered over the root
the mandibular 1st
Which of the 4 types of premolars from the proximal views have a buccal cusp tip that is facial to the long axis of the root
the mandibular 2nd
where are the cusp tips of the 4 types of premolars in comparison to their roots from the proximal view
Maxillary 1st - both the lingual and buccal cusp tips are within the confines of the root trunk
Maxillary 2nd - both the lingual and the buccal cusp tips are near being lined up with the lingual and buccal surfaces of the root
Mandibular 1st - the buccal cusp tip is centered over the root, and the lingual cusp tip is in line with the lingual surface of the root
Mandibular 2nd - the buccal cusp tip is facial to the long axis of the root, and the lingual cusp tip appears to be lingual to the lingual surface of the root
Where are the buccal and lingual heights of contour of the 4 types of premolars
All of the buccal heights of contour are in the cervical 1/3
All of the lingual heights of contour are in the middle 1/3
