Abstract : [Abstract] The vortex bands of the enamel of the cusps of two molars located distally to the right maxillary second molar, one of which is the dentist's so-called fourth molar or a paramolar of the third molar, were examined by the replica technique. The vortex of the distal cusp of a lingual counterpart of the two molars in question is clockwise, whereas that of their buccal counterpart is counterclockwise. This fact suggests strongly that the two molars are twins or duplicated third molars.
