    Curvature Is at About The Same Height

    Uploaded by

    Ahmed Dola
    This document discusses identifying characteristics of a maxillary first molar tooth. It notes that the contact points and heights of curvature are at about the same height when viewed facially. The larger distal occlusal fossa and mesial lingual marginal groove can identify the tooth as right or left. The distal surface has a longer radius of curvature than the mesial surface. There is typically a single root, though bifurcated or grooved roots can occur occasionally. This tooth shows variation between individuals in both crown and root shape, and may sometimes resemble a lower second premolar.

    Contact Points; Height of Curvature: When viewed from the facial, each contact area/height of curvature is at about the

    same height. Right and Left: The larger distal occlusal fossa and mesial lingual marginal developmental groove are consistent clues to right and left. The distal surface has a longer radius of curvature than does the mesial surface. Root: There is a single root. Grooved and/or bifurcated roots do sometimes occur. Variation: This is a variable tooth in both crown and root. It may, in some persons, more nearly resemble the lower second prmolar.
