Abstract
It is suggested that multiple root number of the maxillary first premolar be defined on the basis of lingual and buccal‐root bifurcation greater than one‐fourth to one‐third (25%–33%) the buccal‐root length. This meets pragmatic considerations and would enhance comparability of between‐observer findings for an apparently independent trait of potential importance for population characterization, forensic identification, and microevolutionary analysis.Keywords
