Premolars are also known as "bicuspids". They are located between the molars and canines and are used for chewing and grinding food. They have two cusps one on each side making them easier to identify. Premolars typically come in two varieties the first premolar (also known as the "six-year molar") and the second premolar (also known as the "twelve-year molar").

The main distinguishing features of premolars are:

  • Two cusps
  • Located between the molars and canines
  • Used for chewing and grinding food

The main types of premolars are:

  1. First premolar (also known as the "six-year molar")
  2. Second premolar (also known as the "twelve-year molar")

Premolars are an important part of the dental anatomy and are essential for proper chewing and grinding of food.

Premolars are similar to molars but differ in function. Molars only grind whereas premolars hold and grind your food. Anatomically they are different as well.
