Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| M. Freudenthal 1976 | larger than M. parva. All features present in M. parva are found in M. maiuscula as well, though their frequency may be different. Apart from size the only difference between M. parva and M. maiuscula may be that in the latter there is always a sinus in the lingual part of the posterior crest of M3. |
