    The Palatal Aspect - 14

    Uploaded by

    The palatal aspect of the maxillary first premolar tapers towards the palatal side, with the palatal cusp being narrower than the buccal cusp. The palatal cusp is smooth and spherical tapering to a pointed tip formed by the meeting of the distal and mesial slopes at a 90 degree angle. The mesial and distal outlines of the palatal crown are convex, with the cervical line being regular and curved slightly towards the root.

    The Palatal Aspect

    First Pre Molar


    On the palatal aspect of the
    maxillary fist premolars it’s the
    reverse of the gross outline of it’s
    buccal aspect, whereby…

    • The crown tapers toward the


    palatal aspect, since this cusp
    is narrower mesiodistally as
    compared to the buccal cusp.

    • The palatal cusp is


    smooth and spheroidal
    from the cervical portion to
    the area near the cusp tip.
    • The cusp tip is pointed, with
    distal and mesial slopes meeting
    at an angel of about 90 degrees.

    •The mesial and distal outlines of


    the palatal portion of the crown
    are convex.

    •The cervical line is regular, with


    slight curvature toward the root
    and crest of curvature centered
    on the root.
    • With the palatal portion of the
    crown narrower than that of the
    buccal aspect it is possible to see
    part of the mesial and distal
    surfaces of the crown and root.
    • Since the palatal cusp is not
    as long as the buccal cusp, the
    tips of both cusps wit their
    mesial and distal slopes
    maybe seen from this aspect.

    • The palatal portion of the


    root when bi-rooted is
    smooth and convex in all
    points.
