you need to drill perpendicular to the occlusal table, not to the tooth as a whole. if you don't, then you will more easily drill far and risk hitting the pulp chamber

the 2nd mandibular premolar
79
from the distal view how can you tell between the 1st and 2nd mandibular premolar
the 2nd mandibular premolar has its distal marginal ridge that is more cervical than the mesial marginal ridge, so you can see the occlusal surface of the tooth.
