Unit 5-occlusal and root Flashcards
general shape of occlusal on max premolars
hexagonal
lingual margin from occlusal
convex
mesial and distal margins from occlusal
straight, converge towards lingual
mesial marginal groove on occlusal?
prominent
Occlusal table
bordered by proximal margins and the cusps
buccal cusp from occlusal
offset distally, wider and higher cusp; has 4 cusp ridges
lingual cusp ridge
also called buccal triangular/Buccal portion of transverse ridge; runs from buccal to central groove
4 ridges of occlusal surface
buccal cusp ridge (cr), lingual cr (triangle one), mesial cr, and distal cr
inclined planes of occlusal buccal
4 of them
m/d buccal NONFUNCTIONAL
m/d Lingual FUNCTIONAL
shortest cusp in max premolars
lingual of max 1st
lingual cusp of max premolars (orientation, cusps, planes, shape)
offset mesially, shorter, rounder w/ 4 cusp ridges and 4 inclined planes (3 functional)
number of functional incline ridges in lingual cusp
3! only the mesiolingual is non functional
more rounded/less hexagonal
occlusal of max 2nd bicuspid
shorter central groove
occlusal of max 2nd bicuspid
4 functional inclined planes
max 2nd lingual cusp on occlusal
