47
Q

What maxillary PM is more assymetrical ?

A

Max 1st

48
Q

Where are the contacts on Maxillary PM located?

A

49
Q

The Mandibular 1st pre-molar has a ____ and ____ buccal cusp that the 2nd

A

Longer And Sharper Buccal cusp (1st)

50
Q

On **mandibular 2nd pre molars, **the buccal ridge depressions when present are more common where?

A

Distal cusp ridge notch more common

51
Q

The location of proximal contact area on the 2nd mandibular pre molars are where?

A

Both on incisal 3rd, mesial is more occlusal, distal more cervical.

52
Q

An exception to the rule, mandibular 1st pre molar contacts are where, and why?

A

The mesial contact is much more cervical, distal contact is more occlusal. This is due to how veritcle the MMR on the 1st PMs are.

53
Q

The roots of madibular PMs trend how?

A

The have a distal root bend at the apex, this is because mandible is shorter.

54
Q

On mandibular 1st pre molars,the buccal ridge depressions when present are more common where?

A

Mesial cusp ridge notch more common

55
Q

Most mandibular PMs taper narrower from ____ to ____ EXCEPT on what, and why?

A

Taper Buccal to lingual, except on 3-cusped mandibular 2nd PMs which have 2 lingual cusps and are therefore; wider on the lingual instead.

56
Q

57
Q
