Parastyle cusp: A rare morphologic variant of maxillary second molars
Zoya Chowdhary, Disha Gupta, Ranjana Mohan, Aashima BajajJournal of Forensic Dental Sciences 2018 10(2):111-115 Human jaws and teeth show a high diversity in the morphology, which varies from individual to individual. The variation in the morphologic feature is of great importance in the forensic field for identification. A tubercle or an accessory cusp is rare but is usually seen in the mandibular molar buccal aspect. From a forensic odontologist's point of view, the features though rare and unusual are useful for identification of the victim as well as criminal. The article presents three cases showing this r...
