Why put all those grooves on the occlusal surface??
Why not put simple inclined planes on a flat table??

IntroductionThere are many positive and negatives features on a tooth eg, cusp tips and ridges.
The ridges, when properly formed, are convex in all directions. Buccolingually and mesiodistally. This is to provide point contacts with the opposing cusps.
The convex surfaces of ridges produce a distributedcontact pattern with small contacts. In this way occlusal forces are distributed over a wide area of the occlusal surface.

The grooves perform an important function.
If they are adequate in width and depth and traverse the occlusal surface in the proper direction, they will permit the smooth unimpeded passage of the opposing cusps in excursive movements.

The functional cusps (lingual of the maxillary and buccal of the mandibular) are the cusps to locate first. They should be positioned so they will contact the appropriate fossa or marginal ridge of the opposing tooth.

The maxillary buccal nonfunctional cuspsneed to be short enough to miss contacting the mandibular buccal ‘functional’ cusps during excursions.
The mandibular lingual nonfunctional cuspsneed to be slightly shorter than the buccal and placed as far to the lingual.
