What term is sometimes used to refer to the mandibular first premolar?

Snake eyes
Tiger tooth
Lion molar
Eagle beak

The correct answer is: Snake eyes

The mandibular first premolar is also sometimes referred to as "snake eyes" because it resembles the slit-shaped pupils of a snake. This is due to the single root and two cusps that the tooth possesses, similar to the two eyes of a snake. The other options are all incorrect because they do not accurately describe the appearance or function of this specific tooth. Tiger teeth, lion molars, and eagle beaks are not commonly associated with the mandibular first premolar.
