What is bicuspid?

Bicuspid refers to a type of tooth in the human mouth that has two points or cusps. These teeth are also known as premolars and are located between the molars and canines. They are used for chewing and grinding food.

Bicuspid refers to something having two cusps or pointed projections. It is most commonly used to describe a bicuspid valve, which is a heart valve that has only two cusps instead of the typical three cusps. Bicuspid valves can be either congenital, meaning they are present at birth, or acquired, meaning they develop later in life due to conditions such as rheumatic fever.
