What is the height of the lingual cusp compared to the facial cusp on a specific tooth?

  1. 50%

  2. 66%

  3. 75%

  4. 2/3

The correct answer is: 2/3

The height of the lingual cusp compared to the facial cusp on a tooth is often described as being 2/3 or two-thirds. This means that the lingual cusp is approximately two-thirds the height of the facial cusp on the specific tooth in question. This ratio is a general rule of thumb used to help visualize the relative sizes of the cusps on teeth.
