Permanent Mandibular Premolars Flashcards
(110 cards)
how many lobes are the mandibular first and second premolars derived from?
- first premolars - 4 lobes
- second premolars - 5 lobes; 3 buccal, 2 lingual
the mandibular first premolar has a long, well formed ____ cusp, and a small ____ lingual cusp
buccal, nonfunctioning
the mandibular first premolar resembles a ___ since only the buccal cusp is in ____
canine, occlusion
which of the two mandibular premolars is smaller?
the first premolar; this is opposite of the maxillary premolars
the second mandibular premolar has ___ well formed cusps; one large ___ cusp and two smaller ___ cusps
- 3
- buccal
- lingual
the mandibular second premolar is more like a small molar due to the _____
high horizontal marginal ridges
T or F:
the mandibular first and second premolars are true bicuspids
false
how does the mandibular first premolar resemble a canine?
- long sharp buccal cusp, only one in occlusion
- buccolingual measurement is smaller
- occlusal surface slopes lingually in cervical direction
- mesiobuccal cusp ridge is shorter than the distobuccal
- outline form of the occlusal resembles the canine
how does the mandibular first premolar resembe the second premolar?
- outline of crown and root from buccal are similar except for longer cusp
- mesial and distal contact areas are nearly the same level
- cervical line curvatures mesial and distal are similar
- tooth has more than one cusp
- *root of the first premolar is usually shorter than the second*

very little
from the buccal aspect of the 1st mandibular premolars, the mesial outline is straight above the _____, and may show slight ____ to contact
cervical, concavity
from the buccal aspect of the 1st mandibular premolars, the tip of the ___ cusp is pointed and just ___ to center of crown
buccal, mesial
from the buccal aspect of the 1st mandibular premolars, the distal outline has slight ___ above the cervical line to contact area
concavity
from the buccal aspect of the 1st mandibular premolars, the root is usually 3-4mm ___ than the mandibular canine
