A

30 degrees…the Mesial Marginal Ridge

20
Q

Perm Man 1st Molar, Mesial: Since the mesial cusps are _____ than the distal cusps on the tooth, very little of the ______ surface can be viewed.

A

TALLER…occlusial

21
Q

Perm Man 1st Molar, DISTAL- The facial outline of the distal cusp is located _______ to the facial outline of the taller ___ cusp. This means the entire distal cusp is superimposed onto the ___ cusp.

A

LINGUAL…DF cusp…DF cusp

22
Q

Perm Man 1st Molar, DISTAL- WHICH cusp EXCLUSIVELY comprises the distal contact area?

A

THE DISTAL CUSP

23
Q

Perm Man 1st Molar, DISTAL- The distal contact area is slightly ______ to the FL bisector of the crown.

A

slightly facial to the “center” of the crown.

24
Q

Perm Man 1st Molar, DISTAL-Both the distal and the DF cusp tips are _____ to the apices of the mesial AND distal roots.

A

FACIAL

25
Q

Perm Man 1st Molar, Occlusial: What is the most FACIALLY placed cusp?

A

The DF cusp!

26
Q

Perm Man 1st Molar, Occlusial: What is the most MESIALLY placed cusp?

A

The ML cusp!

27
Q

Perm Man 1st Molar, Occlusial: RANK the cusp sizes from LARGEST to smallest. (bored: go smallest to largest)

A

Largest:MF—->ML—–>DL—->DF—->D

28
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, Facial: What divides the MF and DF cusps? What DISTINCT structure does it end in? WHICH THIRD is this distinct structure located?

A

The Facial (or buccal) Groove…..Ends in the Facial (buccal) Pit…the MIDDLE third of the crown

29
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, Facial: The facial groove is ______, except for a slight ______ inclination at the facial pit.

A

VERTICAL….MESIAL

30
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, Facial: OVERALL the facial groove is located slightly ______ to the vertical line dividing the crown in half(mesiodistally).

A

distal (this makes the MF cusp wider then the DF cusp)

31
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, Mesial- The tip of the ___ cusp is closer to the “vertical faciolingual long axis bisector” (center of the crown) than the greatest ______ outline of the crown.

A

MF cusp…..greatest facial outline (aka-its TILTED in)

32
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: The tips of both facial cusps, ESPECIALLY the MF cusp, are located farther _______ from the facial outline of the crown when compared to the Lingual cusps in relation to the Lingual outline.

A

LINGUALLY (aka-the facial cusp tips are farther away from the facial outline and the lingual cusp tips are closer to the lingual outline)

33
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: The facial groove and the lingual groove meet the central groove at ______ angles.

A

Right angles

34
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: What divides the occlusion surface into M and D halves?

A

the F and L grooves

35
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: The three major grooves meet to form a “____” or “_____” design.

A

“plus” or cross”

36
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: Since the three major grooves divide the cusps into approximately equal sizes, it is called a “___” arrangement.

A

“4+”

37
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: The _______ pit forms where the facial, lingual, and central grooves meet.

A

Central Pit

38
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: The central pit is located on the ______ half of the crown.

A

LINGUAL

39
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: What anatomical structures are at the ends of the central groove?

A

Mesial Triangular Fossa and Distal Triangular Fossa

40
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: What anatomical structure is found at both the mesial triangular fossa and the distal triangular fossa?

A

the mesial triangular PIT and the distal triangular PIT

41
Q

Permanent SECOND molar, occlusial: Each cusp has M and D ______ ridges extending laterally, as well as a ______ ridge that extends toward the central _____.

A

cuspal ridges….triangular ridge…central fossa

42
Q
