Unilateral Protostylid on Mandibular Molar: A Rare Finding.

Abstract

The morphology of both the deciduous and permanent teeth is affected by various developmental malformations. Anterior teeth are commonly associated with an accessory cusp, a developmental alteration to the shape of the teeth, which is rarely found in the permanent molars. A protostylid is a supernumerary or accessory cusp located on the mesiobuccal surface of the mandibular molars. Here, we report a case of an accessory cusp found on the buccal surface of mandibular molar.
