CLASSIFICATION AND DESCRIPTIVE ANATOMY OF THE TEETH. 17 THE MOLARS. The molars, or tuberoulate teeth, as they are sometimes termed, are verydifferent in form and architectural design from those which have been pre-viously described. The most simple form of tooth is that designed fromthe single cone. This is the architectural form of the incisors and cuspids. The bicuspids are more complex, being formed of two cones. But theinferior first bicuspid has but one well-developed cusp and a lingual cin-gule. The superior bicuspids have two well-developed cusps, and theinferior second bicuspids have three cusps. The superior molars are still more complex, being formed by the additiono* a third cone to the bicuspid type. This gives the tooth three roots,upon which three or four cusps are supported. The inferior molars are the most com
