This document provides details about the permanent mandibular second premolar tooth. It discusses the identifying features, buccal, lingual, mesial, distal and occlusal aspects of the tooth. There are typically two types - with either three cusps or two cusps. The lecture covers the principal differences between this tooth and the mandibular first premolar. There is no quiz for this lecture.

Dr. Faisal Alhuwaizi - Principal identifying features:
1) It is larger than the mandibular first
premolar.
2) The cusps are more equal in size with
less pointed tips. Usually this tooth has three cusps, one buccal and two lingual; or may have only two cusps, one buccal and one lingual.
3) The occlusal outline is almost square in
appearance with no mesio-lingual developmental groove.

Dr. Faisal Alhuwaizi - Buccal Aspect
1) The buccal cusp is shorter and less pointed
than that of mandibular first premolar.
2) The contact areas are broad and high
(appear to be higher because of the shorter buccal cusp).
3) The root is broader mesio-distally than
that of mandibular first premolar ending with a more blunt apex.

Dr. Faisal Alhuwaizi - Lingual Aspect The lingual surface of the crown is smooth and spheroidal. From this aspect, this tooth differs from the mandibular first premolar in:
1) The lingual cusps are more developed
(longer cusps).
2) Less occlusal surface may be seen.
However, because the lingual cusps are slightly shorter than the buccal cusp, we can see part of the lingual incline of the buccal cusp from this aspect.

Dr. Faisal Alhuwaizi - Lingual Aspect
3) A. In the three cusps type: there are two lingual cusps, the mesio-lingual is larger than the disto-lingual cusp and are divided by the lingual developmental groove.
B. In the two cusps type: there is a large
cusp of the same height as in the three cusps type. There is a developmental depression disto-lingually where the lingual cusp ridge joins the distal marginal ridge.

Dr. Faisal Alhuwaizi - Mesial Aspect From this aspect, this tooth differs from the mandibular first premolar in:
1) The crown and the root are wider bucco-lingully.
2) The buccal cusp is not nearly centered over the root trunk, and it is shorter.
3) The marginal ridge is at a right surface may be
seen. angle to the long axis of the tooth with less occlusal surface apparent. 4) There is no mesio-lingual developmental groove on the crown.
5) The root is longer with more blunt apex.
Dental Anatomy lec 10 Dr. Faisal Alhuwaizi - Distal Aspect
1) All the three cusps may be seen.
2) The distal marginal ridge is lower than that
mesially, revealing more of the occlusal surface.

Dr. Faisal Alhuwaizi - Occlusal Aspect A. Three cusps type:
1) The occlusal aspect is square in shape.
2) Three cusps: the buccal is the largest,
followed by the mesiolingual cusp, and then the distolingual cusp.
3) Each cusp has a well-formed triangular ridge
separated by deep developmental grooves which form a Y-shape on the occlusal surface.

Dr. Faisal Alhuwaizi - Occlusal Aspect
4) There are three developmental grooves:
A. Mesial developmental groove ending in the mesial triangular fossa. B. Distal developmental groove ending in the distal triangular fossa. C. Lingual developmental groove separating the two lingual cusps.
5) These grooves converge in a central pit,
which is placed slightly towards the distal side.
6) Supplemental grooves are often seen.

B. Two cusps type:
1) Appear more rounded than the more angular three cusps type.
2) There is one well-developed lingual cusp which
is large and opposite the buccal cusp.
3) A central developmental groove travels in a
mesio-distal direction, with its terminals centered in the mesial and distal triangular fossae. Sometimes mesial and distal developmental pits in the centers of these fossae may be seen. Dental Anatomy lec 10 Dr. Faisal Alhuwaizi No Quiz Today
