CUSP TD EXAM SCRIPT FINAL PAPER
QUESTIONS ANSWERS COMPREHENSIVE
STUDY RESOURCE
●● cusp ridge
Answer: -A raised part of the occlusal surface of a posterior tooth that
runs from a cusp tip toward the central dissectional grove.
-Cusp ridges either run perpendicular to the central dissectional groove
(transverse) or at an angle (oblique).
●● transverse cusp ridge
Answer: A cusp ridge running perpendicular to the central dissectional
groove.
●● oblique cusp ridge
Answer: A ridge on the occlusal surface of a posterior tooth that runs at
an angle to the central dissectional groove.
●● carabelli cusp
Answer: A raised protrusion on the mesio-lingual cusp of an upper
molar, most often found on the upper first molar.
●● cusp slope
