Kaplan review says-"Maxillary Deciduous I Molar resembles premolars"
Then immediately in the second para it says
"mandibular and maxillary Deciduous I molars resemble no permanent teeth".
the decks say the primary molars resemble none of the teeth. I remember studying that primary 1 molars resemble the premolars and the second molars resemble the molars.
any inputs??
thanks

maxillary primary 1st molar resembles premolar.
primary maxillary 2nd and primary mandibular 2nd molar resemble PERMANENT maxillary 1st molar and primary mandibular 1st molar respectively.

decidous 1st molars are transition from pre to molars with 3 cusps and all. but they resemble more of PM than M

It is correct to say that a mandibular 1st primary molar does NOT resemble any permanent tooth.

The maxillary 1st resembles a premolar and the max./mand. 2nds all resemble permanent molars.
