7 8

RelationThe upper 1st molar makes contact mesially with the distal surface of the upper 2nd molar and distally has no contact cause it is the last tooth in the dental arch.




It has three roots (two buccal and one palatal).

- The roots are short, poorly developed roots which are curved distally. However, the roots are sometimes so close together that may be completely fused.

☻No standard form observed for this tooth thus, it is hard to describe a typical maxillary third molar.

There are 2 types of the occlusal surface

1- The most common occlusal outline is heart shape, where the tooth has three cusps ( mesiobuccal, distobuccal and lingual cusps).

2- Rhomboid type with four cusps, the distolingual cusp is small and non-functioning cusp. Also the oblique ridge is poorly developed or completely absent.

- Many supplemental grooves are distributed in occlusal surface of the third molar

The general features that differentiate the Mandibular and maxillary molars are:

1- The crowns of the lower molars are wider mesiodistally than buccolingually.

4- Presence of four or five cusps, the two lingual cusps approximately of the same size.

3- The occlusal surface is hexagonal or rectangular.

2- The crowns are tilted lingually and show rhomboid outline proximally.

5- The presence of two roots in most cases one mesially and the other one distally.

-The lingual developmental groove separates the two lingual cusps. - The lingual developmental groove fades out near the middle of the crown. -The cervical line is located at more occlusal level than that on the buccal surface so, the roots appear to be longer lingually than buccally.

The mesial aspect

- It is rhomboidal in shape (constricted occlusally) and inclined lingually.

Geometrical outline

- The buccal outline is convex at the cervical third for the presence of cervical ridge. - then becomes slightly concave or straight at the middle third and becomes slightly convex or straight to the mesiobuccal cusp tip.- The lingual outline is convex from the cervical line to the mesiolingual cusp tip with the maximum convexity at the middle of the crown.

- The cervical line is usually straight. - It inclined from the lingual side to the buccal as it always located at a more occlusal level on the lingual side.-The mesial marginal ridge is continuous with the cusp ridges but in a slightly lower level.-The contact area is located at the junction of the middle and occlusal thirds slightly buccal to the midline.- The mesial root has straight buccal and lingual outline till the middle of the root length and then tapers to a blunt apex.

- It has a deep groove on its middle portion.

- It is usually smaller in all dimensions than any mandibular molars but, sometimes it may reach the size of the first permanent mandibular molar.- Its crown is variable but two basic types are usually seen:1- The crown resembles the permanent mandibular first

molar with five cusps and similar occlusal pattern with increase number of supplemental grooves.

2- The crown resembles the permanent mandibular second molar, it has 4 cusps and the same occlusal pattern with increase number of supplemental groove.
