Can Cusp of carabelli be found on other molars then what the description says? I've seen an extra cusp on a second mandibular molar, facial, distal side. I was told it is not a Cusp of Carabelli, but similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.56.225.126 (talk) 00:58, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

It's not a cusp
The definition of a cusp is that it is a pyramidal projection, that is a type of lobe. In turn, a lobe are centres of calcification. Carabelli however, is not a cusp. There is no dentin and root underneath. It is just made of enamel. This is the definition of a tubercle. It should thus be changed to the Tubercle of Carabelli 132.234.229.164 (talk) 01:46, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
