occlusal surface

As expected, wear usually begins on the incisal or occlusal surfaces.

In the occlusal surface, these three infundibula merge into a single islet.

The oblique ridge is found on the occlusal surfaces of maxillary molars.

A cusp is an elevation on an occlusal surface of posterior teeth and canines.

The occlusal surface has four grooves.

The occlusal surface is rough and mostly flat, adapted for crushing and grinding plant material.

The occlusal surface is oval.

Cementum similarly adapts to wear on the occlusal surfaces of the teeth by apical deposition.

Superb occlusal surfaces.

The postcanine teeth resemble rounded-off squares with three rows of cusps on their occlusal surfaces.

Buccinator (VII) helps to contain the food against the occlusal surfaces of the teeth.

The occlusal surface tend to be pointed, well-suited for holding preys and tearing and shredding.

Transparent overlays are made by free-hand tracing the occlusal surfaces of a dental model onto an acetate sheet.

People with bruxism may also grind their posterior teeth (back teeth), which wears down the cusps of the occlusal surface.

This is the most usual type of tooth wear that occurs in bruxism, and affects the occlusal surface (the biting surface) of the teeth.

The appearance of these defects is most prominent at the labial and buccal surfaces after extended utilization of the occlusal surface wears down the teeth.

Naturally, the cementoenamel junction exists much closer to the incisal or occlusal surface of a tooth than to the tip of the root or roots.

Essentially, the occlusal surface of the molars probably had two rows of cusps (cricetid) instead of three (murid).

Grooves on the occlusal surfaces of molar and premolar teeth provide microscopic retention sites for plaque bacteria, as do the approximal sites.

He favorably compares a modern tooth suspected of coming from a Bigfoot to the Meganthropus fossil teeth, noting the worn enamel on the occlusal surface.

Furthermore, the V-shaped islet is larger and the lingual furrow is less prominent at the occlusal surface, because it tapers near the tip of the tooth.

The occlusal surface is about rectangular and is mostly covered by a V-shaped dentine lake, which encloses a small heart-shaped enamel islet at the top of an cementum-filled infundibulum.

Fossil forms and modern platypus young have "tribosphenic" form of molars (with the occlusal surface formed by three cusps arranged in a triangle), which is one of the hallmarks of extant mammals.

Unlike in GSI/SR/PAL-G074, the dentine on the occlusal surface is not exposed, and the occlusal surface is oval in shape.

It is similar in many respects to UA 8653, but is less curved and its occlusal surface contains a large infundibulum (funnel-shaped cavity), filled with cementum and surrounded by enamel that penetrates deeply into the tooth.
