Which tooth has the most distinct MF cervical ridge and transverse ridge?

Primary mandibular first molar
Primary mandibular second molar
Mandibular first molar
Maxillary first molar

The correct answer is: Primary mandibular first molar

The primary mandibular first and second molars both have well-developed mesial and distal cervical ridges, while the mandibular first molar has a prominent transverse ridge which is most distinct on the MF surface. The maxillary first molar does not have as prominent of a transverse ridge as the MF cervical ridge, making it an incorrect choice. Additionally, the mandibular second molar does not have as prominent of a transverse ridge as the first molar, making it an incorrect choice as well.
