Oral Anatomy 4c - The Mandibular Second Deciduous Molar

  1. How does the mandibular second deciduous molar compare to the first?
    • This is a smaller version of the mandibular first permanent molar though it is narrower, whiter and has widely diverging roots.
    • Other distinguishing features are;
    • The cingulum on the mesiobuccal corner of the crown,
    • The greater convexity of the mesial and distal surfaces,
    • The more extensive central fossa on the occlusal surface.
    • The mesiolingual and distobuccal cusps are not usually joined to give the Dryopithecus pattern.
