LINGUAL ASPECT
THE ROOTS

The short root trunk has a depression between the cervical line and the bifurcation.

The proximal surfaces of the roots converge lingually to a slight degree, therefore, little of the mesial or distal surfaces may be seen lingually. Prof. A. Elsahn

The crown is slightly narrower lingually than buccally due to less lingual convergence.

Therefore, the cervix of the tooth is wider mesio-distally than that of the first molar.

The two buccal cusps (mesio-buccal and disto-buccal) and the tips of the two lingual cusps (mesio-lingual and disto-lingual) are visible from the buccal side because the lingual cusps are slightly longer. Prof. A. Elsahn

As in the first molar,the crown is much larger mesiodistally than cervico-occlusally. The crown appears to be wider at the cervix than the first molar (less taper toward the cervix below the contact areas), due to Prof. A. Elsahn absence of a distal cusp.
LINGUAL ASPECT
The

crown
The lingual developmental groove separates the two lingual cusps.

It is a short groove, usually end in the occlusal third and is never pitted. The cervical line is irregular mesio-distally, sometimes dropping cervically on the root bifurcation. Prof. A. Elsahn

Buccally, the cervical ridge is in most cases less pronounced although many of them show a prominent bulge cervically on the mesio-buccal cusp only. Occlusal to the cervical ridge, the buccal outline slants lingually.

BUCCAL ASPECT
THE CROWN

Both contact areas are at slightly lower level, especially in the distal area than those of the first molar.
THE ROOTS

The roots may spread as much as those of the first molar or fused for all or part of their length.

The roots taper apically and are more pointed than those of the first molar.

MESIAL ASPECT
THE CROWN

Lingually, the crest of curvature of the crown is about in the center of the crown and is lingual to the root due to the lingual inclination of the crown. Prof. A. Elsahn

Geometrically, the crown is similar to the first molar; rhomboidal in shape with lingual inclination, short cervicoocclusally, and wide bucco-lingually.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS


The root trunk is slightly longer than on the first molar. The roots are as long (or may be longer), less broad bucco-lingually than on the first molar and are less widely separated or more parallel.
