  2. Maxillary second molar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_second_molar

    The deciduous maxillary second molar is the most likely deciduous tooth to have an oblique ridge. In the universal system of notation, the deciduous maxillary second molars are designated by a letter written in uppercase. The right deciduous maxillary second molar is known as "A", and the left one is known as "J".

  3. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    The maxillary second molar is the tooth located laterally from both the maxillary first molars of the mouth but mesially from both maxillary third molars. This is true only in permanent teeth. In deciduous teeth, the maxillary second molar is the last tooth in the mouth and does not have a third molar behind it.

  4. Human tooth - Wikipedia

    The maxillary teeth are the maxillary central incisors (teeth 8 and 9 in the diagram), maxillary lateral incisors (7 and 10), maxillary canines (6 and 11), maxillary first premolars (5 and 12), maxillary second premolars (4 and 13), maxillary first molars (3 and 14), maxillary second molars (2 and 15), and maxillary third molars (1 and 16).

  5. Molar (tooth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_(tooth)

    The molars or molar teeth are large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth. They are more developed in mammals. They are used primarily to grind food during chewing. The name molar derives from Latin, molaris dens, meaning "millstone tooth", from mola, millstone and dens, tooth. Molars show a great deal of diversity in size and shape across the ...

  6. Parotid duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parotid_duct

    The exit of the parotid ducts can be felt as small bumps on both sides of the mouth that usually positioned next to the maxillary second molar. [citation needed] The buccinator acts as a valve that prevents air forcing into the duct, which would cause pneumoparotitis. [5]

    They then enter the alveolar canals on the infratemporal surface of the maxilla, and, passing from behind forward in the substance of the bone, communicate with the middle superior alveolar nerve, and give off branches to the lining membrane of the maxillary sinus and gingival and dental branches to each molar tooth from a superior dental ...

  8. Premolar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premolar

    The removal of only the maxillary first premolars is the second likeliest option, in 14.5% of cases. [10] The practice of premolar extraction developed in the 1940s in the United States, and was initially greatly contested in the orthodontic field, due to the changes to the facial structure caused by the retraction of the arches.

  9. Cusp of Carabelli - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cusp_of_Carabelli

    The cusp of Carabelli, Carabelli's tubercle, or tuberculum anomale of Georg Carabelli is a small additional cusp at the mesiopalatal line angle of maxillary first molars.This extra cusp is usually found on the secondary maxillary first molars and is rarely seen on primary maxillary second molars even less likely on other molars.
