Morphological study of upper wisdom tooth

The article presents aspects of crown and root morphology of the superior wisdom teeth, aiming to several parameters: size, shape crown and occlusal surface, number, topography and orientation of the roots in order to determine which the most common morphological types are. For this purpose, the upper wisdom teeth were collected. According to studies, the dominant form of the dental crown is parallelepipedic, the rectangular or parallelogram shape of the occlusal surface has large mesial and distal-oriented sides. The positive occlusal forms are generally poorly demarcated; cusps are less tall and rarely individualized. In half of the cases, the root is unique, voluminous, straight or with a curved distal tip.
