Molars play a crucial role in the process of mastication, breaking down food into smaller particles that are easier to digest. They are essential for the mechanical breakdown of food alongside other types of teeth, such as incisors and canines, which are involved in cutting and tearing food.
In humans, adults typically have three molars on each side of the upper jaw and three on each side of the lower jaw, totaling twelve molars in a full set of adult teeth. These teeth are well-adapted for handling the substantial forces generated during chewing and grinding.
