Hi Pamster,

The term is "cuspid" and I assume your dentist was making reference to the size of a bi-cuspid tooth? These are also called pre-molars which are the teeth directly in front of the first molar. They vary in size from one person to another as far as the length of the roots are concerned. Whether or not this size wisdom tooth would make a solid anchor for a removable partial, would depend on the health of the tooth, the angle that it is situated and how far out of the gum it is, and the length of it's root.

Keep us posted!
