What are 5 (non-root) dentition traits of MOLARS seen in primary vs. secondary teeth?
- Prominent mesial cervical ridge (bulges) with exaggerated cervical line cure apically
- Crowns taper narrower toward occlusal with narrow occlusal table
- Wide M-D vs. occlusocervically

- Second molars are larger than firsts
What are 3 Root-related dentition traits of MOLARS seen in primary vs. secondary teeth?
- Root furcations are near crown (small root trunks)
