1/20
Mandibular permanent 2nd molar:
Buccal aspect:
-Its smaller than 1st M ,but larger than the 3rd M in alldimensions, so as we go posteriorly The size of the tooth gets
smaller (type trait) & it is human trait as well as others like
Gorillas as go posteriorly ,the size gets bigger.
-we have only 2B cusps which are visible from B side
but in the 1st M we have 3 cusps (MB, DB & D) but here
in the 2nd M there are 2 cusps buccally (MB & DB) thats whywe have just 1 B groove between them, not like 1st M as
we have (1 MB & 1 DB) groove as we have 3 cusps here & 2
cusps in the 2nd M
-L cusps are more prominent from buccal aspect & it protrudes (
) above B cusps (type trait) as amount of difference between B
& L cusps is very big in this tooth but difference is very small inmandibular 1st M.
Roots:
-There are 2 roots & much closer to each other & distally inclined,
this is (type trait) as mandibular 1st M roots are farther apart &
not that distally inclined
Lingual aspect:
-Crown is shorter occlusocervical & little of proximal surfaces are
visible.

-Why we cant see proximal surfaces?
Because this tooth is rectangular in shape
not like mandibular 1st M, as in mandibular
1st M there are 3 cusps 1B& 2L which makes M&D
profile converged L, but in mandibular 2nd
M, there are 2B & 2L cusps with rectangular shaped crown, so we
cant see proximal surface as M & D profile parallel & not
converged lingually.
-M & D profile are less convergent cervically they tend to be more
parallel (of course they converge cervically but not very much) , so
neck of the tooth is less constricted but neck of mandibular 1st M
is wider
Mesial asp ect:
-1 root narrower BL with sharp apex
Distal aspect:
-D cusp is missing (type trait) & this tooth has
4 cusps, so if you want to distinguish between
mandibular 1st M & mandibular 2nd M it is easiest
way, just count the number of cusps
*if u found 5 cusps, it is a mandibular 1st
M
*if u found 4 cusps, it is mandibular 2nd M
- less of B surface is visible (not seen) because the tooth is
rectangular ,so we dont see B surface when we look from D aspect,

but in mandibular 1st M from D aspect we see part of B surface as
DB line angle is obtuse because of presence of D cusp.
-line angle between B surface & M or D surface is 90 in mandibular
2nd M, so from D aspect u cant see B surface but in mandibular 1st
M the angle between B & D are more obtuse so we can see part of
B surface from D aspect. (Type trait)
-D root is much narrower BL with pointed apex (type trait) as this
trait not evidence in mandibular 1st M.
Occlusal aspect:
-It is rectangular tooth & all angles are nearly Right angles (of
course they are slightly rounded) we have 4 cusps of equal size;
the shape is rectangle not trapezoidal like mandibular 1st PM & 1st
M.
B profile = L profile in length
M profile = D profile in length , so each profile is equal in length
& shape
-most prominent of B profile is in region of the MB cusp-farthest
point , most prominent point B is located M to B groove so it is
located in region of MB cusp ,but in mandibular 1st M the prominent
point is in region of DB cusp

-maximum BL dimension is just M to B groove this means slightly M
half of the crown is wider BL than D half of the crown & this is not
a feature in mandibular 1st M as in it maximum BL dimension is just
D to MB groove.
-M cusp are wider MD than D cusps slightly this means that B & L
grooves are not 100% located in mid portion of crown MD & this
makes M part of the tooth slightly bigger than D part
*(MB & ML are slightly bigger than D part)
-MRs: straight BL (not curved)
Not crossed by M grooves like in mandibular 1stM
-cross (+) groove pattern: this is the only tooth with this feature,
this is the simplest tooth with cross groove pattern (we have B
groove, L groove, M groove & D groove), M & D grooves called
" central groove "
So if u finds a tooth with cross pattern in the groove system, it ismandibular 2nd M.
-more numerous supplemental grooves (maximum number of
supplementary grooves should be in mandibular 3rd M, so as u go
post. The number of supplementary grooves increases)4

***Easily in the exam DR. Can bring the drawing for a groove
pattern like last 2 years & ask us to identify it.
Pulp:
-similar to that of 1st M.
-BL section, Usually 2 canals in M root & sometimes 1 canal but
most commonly 2 canals, so in root canal treatment if you are
dealing with mandibular 2nd M most of the time not 100% but 95%
there are 2 canals in M root of mandibular 1st M & great possibility
of 2 canals in 2nd
M ,, sometimes we have 2 canals that meet here atapical 1 / 3 to become 1 root canal.
-so if u are treating mandibular 2nd M & u find 1 canal it is possible,
but possibility of having 2 canal in D root is very very minimum not
like mandibular 1st M as there is 60% of having 2 canals in D root.

-good possibility to have 2 canals in M root & small possibility to
have 1, but all the time we find 1 canal in D root.
-In cross section (transverse section) u finds that M portion of
pulp champers is greater than D portion.
Mandibular permanent 3rdMolar:
Buccal aspect:
-Very highly variable, roots are short, fused & D inclined.
-always we distinguish this M by looking on the Root,, if they are D
inclined & closed to each other or sometimes fused so it is a
mandibular 3rd M.
Lingual aspect:
-Short crown of highly bulbous outline
() & rounded cusps (not pointed cusps )

7/20
Mesial aspect:
-B&L profile are highly convex & this makes distance betweenapices of M cusps (MB & ML) shorter, so occlusal table is very
small in this tooth & constricted compared with mandibular 1st M.
(As we dont use it in mastication)
Distal aspect:
-almost entire B surface is visible & this angle between B&Dsurface (DB angle) is rounded & obtuse
-D root is narrowest BL &shorter of all mandibular M_ pulp is
similar to mandibular 2nd M.

mesial distal
Occlusal aspect:-ovoid in shape & as u see all angles are rounded & the crown is
very constricted so occlusal surface is small & constricted.
-M half is wider BL than D half (like mandibular 2nd M).
-B&L profiles converge distally this makes D half of the tooth
small BL than M half.
-highly constricted occlusal table in MD & BL dimensions.
-4 narrow conical cusps.
-highly convex MRs.

-irregular pit & groove pattern with short grooves (many
supplemental grooves).
-it is the most variable among teeth in morphology but maxillary 3rd
M shares some features with it.
How we can disting uish between maxillary & mandibular 3rd
Molar:
-all the time look at the presence of oblique ridge,, it impossible to
find an oblique ridge in mandibular 3rd M,, but all the time we find
an oblique ridge run obliquely from ML to DB cusps in max 3rd M &
in mandibular 3rd we dont see that the tooth look like this
one>>means we cant see acute & obtuse angels in it.
- In mandibular 3rd M very variable groove pattern, very
constricted occlusal table, cusps are rounded
**Now I want from u to compare this with max 3rd M & here are its
features
(Irregular, many supplemental groove but usually u find here as u
can see acute angles & obtuse ones & u find oblique ridge)
**In the exam most of students mistakes when Dr. Asks them is
this a mandibular or max 3rd M, u can look at the crown
- If it rectangular in shape this is mandibular 3rd M.
- If u see a crown with acute & obtuse angles with an oblique ridge
it is max 3rd M.9

These tables present the type trait between mandibular 1st, 2nd, & 3rd
molar with difference in diameter.
By this we conclude the anatomy of molars.
Now we will start the anatomy of deciduous teeth & we will continue
this topic in another hall,
Anatomy of deciduous teeth (deciduous dentition):

First of all, this is a picture for Melbon where dr. took his master
degree. Dr. said: it looks like Irbid, isnt it?? But we dont have balloons
in Jordan.
Set trait:
It is the characteristic which let us to distinguish between deciduous
and permanent teeth; so it is the way that we can quickly tell is this
tooth a deciduous or permanent.
1-size: smaller than permanent as teeth dont grow we need a second set
of dentition, so if the tooth is very small, it is a deciduous one. But if it
is big, it is a permanent one.
2- Crown height / length: ratio is smaller in deciduous as crown is very
short compared with the total length of the tooth.
For example: if total length is 20 mm, in deciduous the crown is 5 or 6
mm but in permanent the crown occupy more of the tooth length.
3- crown width / height: the ratio is greater in deciduous as in
permanent teeth the incisor length of the crown is greater than the11

12/20
width, but in deciduous tooth, the crown is short so the width over the
height will be greater but in permanent the ratio is smaller as the crown
is higher.
4- More bulging B & L cervical ridges:
This is an example of deciduous incisor and this is a permanent incisor,
you will see the B ridge & the L ridge (the cingulum), these are bulging,
this make the neck of the tooth is more constricted.
5- In molars we can distinguish between deciduous and permanent by
the roots:
In deciduous more slender and relatively longer more bowed and flaredoutward, why these need to be bowed and flared? Because we need
room for the crown of the successor premolars.
To distinguish it, sorry for this example; deciduous look like females as
it has a west but permanent it looks like males. Sorry for this but it is
the easiest.
Shorter root trunk (area before bifurcation and trifurcation), if you
have more molar and this molar has root bowed and slender and the
amount of root trunk is very minimum.

13/20
In permanent root trunk occupy 1/3 of the root but in deciduous it
occupies just a very very short distance.
6- We also depend on the color of the tooth as deciduous teeth are
whiter in color as enamel is thinner and pulp champer is large.
Student who make fillings for children they enter the pulp as they
forget that they should dig 1-2 mm without reaching the pulp but in
permanent as it is the normal distance between external surface of
tooth and the beginning of the pulp but in permanent 3-4 mm and in
older people 5 mm (as they have second dentine), but students forget
this fact.
Some class, arch and type traits in permanent dentition are applied to
deciduous dentition; only new traits will be discussed.
All arch traits that dr. will not mention in this lecture are the same
arch traits that are applied to deciduous teeth.
For example we distinguish between maxillary central and maxillary
lateral based on some features like the roundness, this feature is the
same to distinguish between deciduous maxillary central incisor &
deciduous maxillary lateral incisor.
This will not be mentioned just the new features will be mentioned by
the dr.
Deciduous incisors:
Eruption: usually mandibular erupts before maxillary incisors as you
know. And central erupts before lateral ones.

We dont have mamelons or labial grooves or lobes in deciduous teeth.
The day before the lecture the dr. went to Karak for his searches with
another dr.
This dr. asked Dr. Ashraf about a child tooth: is this tooth deciduous or
permanent?? As it was a big incisor and he cant determine is it
deciduous or permanent.
Dr. Ashraf asked him: does it have mamelons?
Dr. said no. So Dr. Ashraf told him that it is a deciduous tooth because
a newly erupted incisor should have mamelons but incisor withoutmamelons in children which is usually small in size is a deciduous incisor.
Permanent deciduous
Maxillary deciduous central incisor:
The only incisor with MD width is greater than crown height; it is theonly incisor (including deciduous & permanent) with a width greater than
the height of the crown.

15/20
M & D profiles are overhanging (located outside the root outline) but in
permanent teeth D & M profiles are continuous with the root profile.
No labial grooves, no depressions and no lobes, so you dont feel that
this tooth is made of 3 lobes fused together; as there is no mamelons.
The cingulum is very prominent & more incisally located, but in
permanent just the cervical 1/3 is occupied by cingulum but here in
deciduous cingulum occupy the cervical half & usually it has an extension
that extends toward the incisal edge.
Sometime this extension may reach the incisal edge dividing the labial
aspect into 2 portions; ML & DL fossa so in this case we call it lingual
ridge (impossible to find it in permanent central incisor).
Unmarked by pits & grooves (impossible to find them here in deciduous)
Marginal ridges are clearly evidence and very common.
This is a maxillary central incisor, as you can see it is very constricted
from all aspect, cervical part is constricted.
In proximal surfaces, the cervical line is convex incisally

Conical root with rounded apex and incisal surface is diamond in shape.
Mistakes in practical exams when the dr. bring us a question to identify
a deciduous central incisor usually students think that this tooth is
permanent incisor, how we can distinguish?
All the time look at the constriction, if the cervix is constricted this
tooth is deciduous but if the cervix is not constricted, this tooth is
permanent but of course we look at the size of the tooth.
Always mistakes in mandibular central permanent incisor as it is small in
size so we have to look at the constriction
Maxillary lateral incisor:
Smaller than deciduous central incisor, M & B profiles are more in line
with root profile not overhanging.
DI angle more rounded than MI same feature of maxillary permanent
lateral incisor
Labial aspect is more convex MD but in permanent it was a flat.
L fossa is deeper, mesial marginal ridges are more prominent, cervical
line is similar to that of central incisor and the tooth is rounded from
all of incisal aspect.
Regarding to mandibular central deciduous incisor:
This tooth is bilaterally symmetrical to mandibular permanent centralincisor, MI & DI angles are 90 degree (incisal margin or ridge is
horizontal).

Prominent cingulum with lingual margin extending incisally but in
mandibular permanent central incisor the cingulum was not prominent
like this. So in deciduous mandibular central incisor the cingulum is moreprominent and the marginal ridges are more prominent too.
Marginal ridges are less marked than in maxillary deciduous, DI &
lingual fossa is shallower.
But all of these features are more prominent in mandibular deciduous
than the permanent so if you want to tell is this tooth a deciduous or
permanent just look at the prominence of these features with the sizeand color. But if less prominence and there is no constriction of cervix
so it is maxillary.
The mandibular central incisor the labial surface is flat MD, not
constricted and not convex & cervical line is similar to that of maxillary
incisor.
The root is 3x the height of the crown.

Now how we distinguish between mandibular deciduous and permanent
incisor?
1- Compare height of crown to the height of the root (small in
deciduous)
2- Root is narrow conical with pointed apex
Mandibular lateral incisor:
Incisal edge slopes distally, this makes the MI angle, more acute or
more 90 degree than the DI as DI the shoulder is lower & the angle is
more rounded.
D profile is more rounded then M profile; we have greater crown
height/ MD ratio than mandibular central deciduous incisor as this
tooth is not wide MD
LL > MD dimensions.
We have cingulum, fossa, MRs which is similar to those of mandibular
central incisor.
Roots are narrow & conical, apex has D inclination.
D surface has narrow vertical depression.
But how we can distinguish between a mandibular deciduous central &
mandibular deciduous lateral again similar to the way we use to
distinguish between permanent and deciduous.

central lateral
Look at the tooth from incisal view; if you see incisal edge is
perpendicular to BL line, it is a central.
If you see cervical ridge inclined D&L this is mandibular lateral.
