Premolars

Premolars are also known as bicuspids.

They are teeth that have two cusps with which to crush and grind food, and are located between the cuspids and the molars.

Premolar teeth generally have either one or two roots.

 

Premolars are one of the types of teeth in the human oral cavity. See also the links to pages about other parts of the mouth.

Information about the structures of the mouth, tooth anatomy and teeth names is relevant to the section about digestion.

The topics of digestion and teeth are included in some school e.g. GCSE and/or A-Level courses in subjects such as biology and human biology and in other courses that include human anatomy & physiology, diet, nutrition, and other health sciences.
