mandibular second premolar
A bicuspid is a tooth with two cusps - a premolar tooth.
Molars have projections that come off of them called cusps. The projections that are closer to the cheek on a top molar should contact no tooth structure, while the inside cusps should go between the cusps of the bottom tooth to rest in this pocket. The bottom tooth's cusps are just the opposite: the inside cusp touches no tooth structure while the cusps closer to the cheek go in between the cusps of the top tooth. When molars touch cusp to cusp, this causes strain on the mouth, along with the TMJ. This can lead to more severe problems in the future.
A tooth with two cusps is called a bicuspid or premolar.
A tooth with two cusps is called a bicuspid or premolar.
When the cusps of a tooth join together, they form several important structures, including the central groove and various occlusal surfaces. These structures help facilitate the grinding and tearing of food during mastication. Additionally, the areas where the cusps meet create fissures and pits, which are important for the tooth's overall function and can also be sites for potential cavities if not properly maintained.
A type of tooth that has two points or cusps is called a bicuspid, or premolar. These teeth are located between the canine and molar teeth and are primarily used for grinding and tearing food. Bicuspids typically have a flat surface with two prominent cusps that aid in the chewing process.
Mandibular first premolar
Frogs and other amphibians do not actually have any teeth at all.
The cusp of a tooth is the pointed or rounded projection on the biting surface of the tooth. It helps in the process of chewing and grinding food. The number and shape of cusps on teeth can vary depending on the type of tooth.
They both have 3 cusps.
bicuspid"Bicuspid" means having two cusps. Humans have eight bicuspid teeth, two in each jaw. They are the premolars.
1- tips of cusps 2- crests of marginal and crossing ridge 3- inclined plane of cusps and ridge 4- occlusal ,incisal,facial and lingual embrasures 5- facial or lingual surfaces (occlusal or incisal )to the height of contour except pits if present 6- axial angles of teeth
