To carve a first premolar, start by shaping the occlusal surface to reflect the anatomical features, such as the cusps and fissures. Use a dental bur or hand instruments to create the distinct mesial and distal contours, ensuring proper angulation and depth. Pay attention to the marginal ridges and the central groove for functional aesthetics. Finally, smooth the surfaces to achieve a polished finish that mimics natural tooth anatomy.
The maxillary first premolar
Yes
The first premolar, also known as the first bicuspid, is typically the fourth tooth from the midline in each quadrant of the mouth. In adults, it is located between the canine and the second premolar. The first premolar usually has two cusps and is primarily used for grinding food. In the upper jaw, it often has a slightly larger and more prominent structure compared to its lower counterpart.
The upper first premolar has Mesial Marginal Developmental Groove in its mesial aspect. It also has long central groove and no supplement groves on its occlusal surface.Also 80% of the upper premolars have 2 roots. However, the upper second premolar has no MMDG and many supplemental groves. Upper second premolar is more rounded and usually has one conical root.

Mandibular first premolar
A premolar is a tooth situated in front of the molar teeth - in humans, it is between the canines and the molars.
