Which primary tooth has a prominent cervical bulge?

First molar
Second molar
Canine
Incisor

The correct answer is: First molar

The correct answer is the first molar (option A). The first primary molar typically has a prominent cervical bulge compared to the other primary teeth mentioned in the question. This feature is a distinguishing characteristic of the first primary molar, helping to differentiate it from the other tooth types. The cervical bulge is located near the gumline and is more pronounced on the buccal (cheek side) surfaces of the tooth. It serves to provide additional support and strength to the tooth structure, particularly important for the first molar due to its important role in mastication and overall dental arch integrity. The second molar, canine, and incisor do not typically exhibit as prominent a cervical bulge as the first molar, making option A the correct choice in this context.
