The premolar alveoli are what shape in cross section_____________?

Correct answer: B. Kidney shaped

  • A. Rectangular
  • B. Kidney shaped
  • C. Triangular
  • D. Oval

Explanation

Premolar alveoli commonly appear kidney-shaped in cross-section because the socket follows the characteristic contour and developmental depressions of premolar roots. The cross-sectional form therefore differs from the more triangular anterior and rectangular posterior alveoli.
