Yes, apes possess sectorial premolars, which are adapted for shearing food. In particular, the upper first premolar often has a blade-like structure that works in conjunction with the lower molars to process tough plant material. This dental adaptation is characteristic of their omnivorous diet, allowing them to effectively grind and slice food.
The maxillary first premolar
A premolar is a tooth situated in front of the molar teeth - in humans, it is between the canines and the molars.
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.
