| How many roots does the max. first premolar have? | Two. |
| Do all premolars of proximal root concavities? | Yes |
| Why are some premolars removed? | Improve dental arch spacing |
| If premolars need to be extracted what premolar gets extracted? | First premolars |
| In the maxillae what premolar is larger? | First Premolar |
| In the mandible what premolar is larger? | Second premolar |

| How many developmental lobes does the maxillary premolars have? | Four. Three buccal and one lingual. |
| In the maxillary premolars where is the crown in position to the root? | Centered over the root creating zero lingual inclination |
| Do the premolars have a larger buccolingual width or mesiodistal width? | Buccolingual |
