Wikipedia
bicuspid
The premolars, also called premolar teeth, or bicuspids, are transitional teeth located between the canine and molar teeth. In humans, there are two premolars per quadrant in the permanent set of teeth, making eight premolars total in the mouth. They have at least two cusps. Premolars can be considered transitional teeth during chewing, or mastication. They have properties of both the canines, that lie anterior and molars that lie posterior, and so food can be transferred from the canines to the premolars and finally to the molars for grinding, instead of directly from the canines to the molars.

bicuspid
A bicuspid is a type of tooth found in humans and some mammals; also known as a premolar, it is used for crushing and grinding food. They are the fourth and fifth teeth from the center of the mouth towards the back. Alternatively, in terms of the heart, 'bicuspid' can also refer to a term describing a valve with two cusps or flaps, particularly the mitral valve in the heart.
