What is Leong's premolar?
Some permanent premolars have a projected portion of the tooth structure which is fragile; this kind of premolar is called 'Leong's Premolar'. If the projected portion fractures, the pulp inside the tooth may become necrotic from bacterial infection, or even results in abscess.

 
If I have Leong’s Premolar, what should I do?
To avoid the projected portion to fracture, the dentist will use the preventive treatments below according to individual need:
Method 1:
Strengthen the projected portion
 
Method 2:
Remove the projected portion and apply filling to the cavity
 
If you think you have a Leong's Premolar, you should ask your parents to take you to a dental clinic for a detailed check-up and receive appropriate treatment as soon as possible!
