Paramolar Tubercles (Bolk Cusps): Two Case Reports

Human teeth can show variations that can be found as anomalies on the crown, root and both. The paramolar tubercle (Bolk cusp) is a developmental accessory tubercle that can be seen rarely on the buccal surfaces of molars and premolars. The aim of this article is to inform dental practitioners about the paramolar tubercles and describe the anomaly in two cases. In the first case, the paramolar tubercle have seen on the buccal surface of the left maxillary second molar and in the second case on the buccal surface of the right mandibular first molar. As a result, teeth with this anomaly may require follow-up or special procedures if treatment is necessary. Therefore, clinicians should have sufficient knowledge about this anomaly.
