Maxillary first premolar(tooth 14)

Buccal ridges are more prominent(occlusal and facial views) Buccal cusps are more pointed towards(average:105) Mesial marginal ridge grooves are almost always present(occlusal view

Maxillary second premolar(tooth 15)


Less prominence(occlusal and facial views)

Buccal cusps more obtuse(120)(facial view)

Less common(occlusal view)

SEKIAN,TERIMA KASIH!!!!

The central development Only one-third or less of grooves are longer( from the mesiodistal mesial to distal pit)(from dimension(occlusal views) occlusal views) Occlusal outlines are More symmetrical more asymmetrical with overall(occlusal views) the lingual cusp tip positioned more to the mesial and buccal cusp tip more to the distal(occlusal views)

Usually have a divided Usually have one root(proximal views) root(proximal views) Buccal cusps are tipped more to the distal with mesial cusps ridges are longer than distal cusp ridge(facial and occlusal view)The only premolar with this trait. Lingual cusps tipped(bent)toward the mesial(lingual and occlusal views)

Both maxillary premolars have mesial and distal depression but ONLY maxillary first premolars exhibit a mesial crown concavity(mesial views)
