- It consists of three roots. The two on the buccal side are the mesial and distal buccal roots. The lingual root is called the tongue root. The mesial buccal root is located above the mesial buccal neck of the crown. The middle buccal root is short; the root of the tongue is located above the lingual neck of the crown, which is the largest of the three roots. The cheek and tongue are wide and flat on both sides, and the tongue has grooves. The distance between the two cheek roots is relatively close, the cheek root and the tongue root are far apart, and the three bifurcations are large, which is conducive to the stability of the teeth.
