Which teeth have buccal groove?

The molars have two buccal grooves on the first molar and a single buccal groove on the second and third molar. They have two roots and no oblique ridge. The geometric form of the mandibular molars is trapezoid in the buccal view while in the proximal view, they are rhomboid.

Are buccal fillings necessary?

A buccal filling is simply one that fills in the cavity on the tooth’s buccal surface. Buccal fillings are needed if there is a gap between the enamel and gum.

Where is the buccal located?

The buccal space is located superficial to buccinator muscle. The buccal space (also termed the buccinator space) is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial tissue spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space in the cheek, and is paired on each side.

How easy do fillings fall out?

Occasionally, a chemical reaction will occur in the filling that causes it not to bond with your tooth, thus falling out in the days or weeks after being placed in your tooth. This is no fault of the dentist or you, and is also easily fixable if you schedule an appointment.
