This document provides anatomical details about a permanent maxillary right first molar tooth in 3 sentences: The crown has 5 cusps in an rhomboidal shape, with the mesiolingual cusp being the largest. There are 3 roots - mesiobuccal, distobuccal, and lingual. The occlusal surface has 2 major and 2 minor fossae separated by developmental and transverse grooves between the 5 cusps.

1. Summary
Permanent Maxillary Right First Molar

2. •CROWN
•Roughly trapezoidal.
•Contact area ;
Mesial- at junction of middle and occlusal third Or halfway between cervical line
and cusp tip.
Distal- at middle of middle third.
•Sulcus depth = 1 mm.
•Intercuspal distance = 5 mm (2.5mm mesial, 2.5mm distal).
•Outline;
Mesial - straight.
Distal - convex (Spheroid).
•Buccal cusps;
mesiobuccal obtuse angle (round).
Distobuccal right angle (sharp) and Longer.
•Part of mesiolingual cusp and distolingual cusp appear.
Buccal Surface

3. •ROOT
•Three roots ;
1- mesiobuccal
2- distobuccal
3- lingual (Longer).
•Root Trunk 5 mm from cervical line to
trifurcation.
•Interapical distance = 4 mm
( 1 mm mesial / 3 mm distal ).
Same length
Buccal Surface

4. •CROWN
• Buccal outline; short arc then shallow concavity then convex.
Crest of curvature within cervical third.
• Lingual outline; curved outward smoothly curved arc.
Crest of curvature near the middle third.
• Sulcus depth = 1.5 mm from lingual cusp.
• Intercuspal distance = 6 mm.
• Buccal cusp shorter than lingual cusp ~ 0.5 mm.
• Cusps in sight;
1- mesiobuccal.
2- mesiolingual.
3- Fifth cusp (cusp of Carabelli).
• Mesial marginal ridge irregular 1/5 crown length = 1.5
Mesial Surface

5. •ROOT
•Mesiobuccal root hide distobuccal root.
•Lingual root appears at line with mesiolingual
cusp.
•Root trunk two thirds from cervical line
= 5 mm from cervical line.
•Interapical distance = 6 mm
( 3 mm Buccal , 3 mm Lingual).
•Buccal roots shorter than lingual root ~ 1mm.
Mesial Surface

6. Occlusal Surface
