The
Teeth or '''bicuspids''' are transitional teeth located between the
Canine and
Molar teeth. In humans, there are two premolars per
Quadrant , making eight premolars total in the mouth. They have at least two
Cusps . Premolars can be considered as a 'transitional tooth' during chewing, or
Mastication . It has properties of both the
Anterior canines and
Posterior molars, and so food can be transferred from the canines to the premolars and finally to the molars for grinding, instead of directly from the canines to the molars.
The premolars in humans are the
Maxillary First Premolar ,
Maxillary Second Premolar ,
Mandibular First Premolar , and the
Mandibular Second Premolar .
There is always one large
Buccal cusp, especially so in the mandibular first premolar. The lower second premolar always presents with two
Lingual cusps.
Premolar teeth by definition are permanent teeth
Distal to the
Canine s preceded by
Deciduous molars. In primitive
Mammal s there are four premolars per quadrant. The most
Mesial two have been lost in
New World Monkeys , apes, and humans.
Paleontologists refer to
Human premolars as
Pm3 and
Pm4 .
