Molars

LLU Tooth Morphology of High Yield * Questions & Blue Book Questions

QuestionAnswer
"O-C dimension is less than M-D and F-L (FL>MD>OC) " "Maxillary Molars ; also: MAXILLARY MOLARS, Maxillary 3rd Molar, Maxillary 2nd Molar, Maxillary 1st Molar, (think ""Max=Fat...Molars Occlude"")"

The maxillary third molar has the shortest root in the mouth? "Maxillary & Mandibular 3rd Molar . Maxillary 3rd Molar has the shortest root in the mouth (according to four authors) vs. (two text books found:) Max. & Man. 3rd shared the shortest root dimension. "
Greatest morphologic variation of any teeth. "Maxillary & Mandibular 3rd Molar . "

The mesiolingual cusp usually has two triangular ridges. "Maxillary 1st Molar, & Maxillary 2nd Molar"
