This accessory cusp may appear on the mesiolingual surface of a maxillary first molar.

Severe pain beginning a few days after an extraction, with loss of the socket's clot, points to this complication.
What is alveolar osteitis (dry socket)?
Enamel is commonly etched with approximately 35–37% of this acid before bonding.
What is phosphoric acid?
Enamel arises from oral ectoderm, while dentin and pulp arise primarily from this neural-crest-derived tissue.
What is ectomesenchyme?

What is the maxillary canine?
A painful oral ulcer with a clean, punched-out appearance after local anesthetic injection may result from ischemic necrosis of this gland-bearing area.
What is the hard palate?
This restorative material chemically bonds to tooth structure and can release fluoride, but is generally less wear-resistant than composite.
What is glass ionomer cement?

This ridge runs obliquely from the mesiolingual cusp to the distobuccal cusp of a maxillary molar.
What is the oblique ridge?
A blue-gray gingival line plus abdominal pain and neuropathy should raise concern for poisoning by this heavy metal.
What is lead?
High-copper dental amalgam improved corrosion resistance largely by eliminating this weakest, tin-mercury phase.
What is the gamma-2 phase?
