The cusp of Carabelli
The cusp of Carabelli
When the mesial buccal cusp of the maxillary first molar is distal to the mesial buccal cusp of the mandibular first molar.
Five (when Carabelli cusp is present)
Fifth cusp or cusp of carabelli
as the buccal cusp has lesser magnification cast on radiograph as compared to the lingual cusp
Cusp of Carabelli is a small extra (5th) cusp on the Maxillary (upper) 1st molar. It is found on the mesiopalatal cusp. It is hereditory and is affected by multiple genes. Generally also found more commonly in europeans.
The maxillary bone is the upper jaw whereas the mandible is the lower jaw. So the maxillary molar must refer to the molar on the upper jaw and the mandibular molar is the molar on the lower jaw.
in order to diagnose malocclusion..ask da patient to occlude n observe the relationship of the maxillary n mandibular molars...if the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary molar occludes in the buccal groove of mandibular molar...then its a class 1 maloclusion...this is some times considered as nrmal occlusion...
disto-palatal
The tooth you are describing is the maxillary first premolar. It typically has a single root, with a prominent buccal cusp that is used for chewing, while the lingual cusp is smaller and often considered nonfunctional. This specific morphology helps in the effective grinding of food during mastication.
The tooth that typically has two points on its top surface is a molar, specifically the maxillary molars. These teeth are characterized by their broad, flat surfaces with multiple cusps, which can appear as two prominent points. In some cases, a specific type of molar, like the upper first molar, may have more distinct cusp formations that resemble two points. However, it's important to note that the number and shape of cusps can vary among individuals.
