Their function is to masticate, and maintain
the vertical dimention of occlusion (*OVD).
*Vertical Dimention of Occlusion -
is a term used in dentistry to
indicate the superior-inferior
relationship of the maxilla and
the mandible when the teeth
are occluded in maximum
intercuspation.
*RVD – Rest Vertical Dimention

(buccal/facial aspect):

- Cusp tip is less pointed, and towards
mesial side
slope is shorter than
(opposite to 1st premolar)
is not as prominent as in
maxillary 1st premolar
- Cervical line is less curvy than in 1st
premolar

10 specimens of 2nd
upper premolars (buccal

outline of the
crown visible (smallest line
– cervical part of the tooth)
but it’s more oval than 1st

(palatal/lingual aspect):

- Lingual cusp the same height
as buccal one
- Crown is 7,5 - 8,5 mm long
- Mesial slope shorter
Adam Maciej Bilski
Left Upper 2nd Premolar
(mesial aspect):
P B
- Cusps at nearly the same level
- The occlusal table is narrow
- Crown is smooth and convex, but root has a
deep developmental depression
- The (with 1st premolar) is
occlusaly on the middle third and slightly to
the buccal side
- Buccal cusp is slightly sharper than lingual

Left Upper 2nd Premolar
(distal aspect):
PB
- The surface is smooth and convex
- Distal marginal ridge is more
cervical than mesial marginal ridge
- Contact point (with 1st molar) is
more cervically positioned and
placed more bucally than on the
mesial aspect (still it’s on the
middle third)

(occlusal aspect):B
P
MD
- The buccal cusp is less developed
than the palatal one (which differs it
from the 1st premolar)
- The amount of fissures is also higher,
so higher probability of an additional
buccal cusp
- The outline is rounded
- Tendency of radiating suplementary
grooves from the central groove
- Central groove shorter than in 1st

Root:
• Lenght of root – 13 - 14 mm (longer then the 1st one’s)
• Usually 1 (very rarely 2 roots present)
• In case of 2 the lingual is shorter and its apex is more blunt
• From lateral view – usually cervical part of root and crown is the
thickest
• Often pointed distally at the apical part (not a rule though)
Adam Maciej Bilski
Root Canal:
21,5 mm
- Not well-defined border
of pulp-root canal
- Pulp horns often visible
- Pulp cavity narrows
usually at the apical
half of the tooth

Dentinal

sometimes
present at the

at the same level

- There has to be
endodontic

Post-treatment –
3 root canals
visible, with 3
different foramina
(filled with gutta-
percha points and
root canal sealer)
