How many points is a molar?
In humans, the molar teeth have either four or five cusps. Adult humans have 12 molars, in four groups of three at the back of the mouth. The third, rearmost molar in each group is called a wisdom tooth.
What happens if you lose one of your molars?
Missing a tooth, even just one, can cause severe and permanent damage to your entire mouth. When you lose a back molar, its surrounding teeth are also impacted because they lose surrounding structure and support. Unfortunately, this causes your other back teeth to shift.
How long does it take for a molar filling to heal?
Sensitivity from a tooth filling should go away within two to four weeks. If the sensitivity doesn’t seem to be getting any better during that time, or it lasts for longer than four weeks, contact your dentist.
Can a tooth reject a filling?
Fillings can fail for several reasons. One of them is the reemergence of the initial tooth decay or the filling becoming detached.
Are 2nd molars important?
If your occlusion is relatively normal, most people do most of their chewing at or about where their first molar is and just forward of the first molar. The second molar provides some chewing efficacy, but not a tremendous one if the first molars and teeth forward of the first molar are intact.
When do second molars come in?

How many points does a 3rd molar hold?
If 3rd molar is not well developed, it holds only 1 point. When we have all 16 teeth intact in the upper jaw with a good functional opposition to corresponding teeth present in the lower jaw, the total points can be 20 to 22 ( based on 3rd molars are well developed or not).
How many points does each tooth have in the mouth?
Teeth assumed to be essential are allotted with 2 points each. Each incisor, canine, 1st and 2nd premolars holds 1 point provided their corresponding lower teeth are present. Each 1st and 2nd molar and well developed 3rd molar holds 2 points provided they are in good opposition to corresponding teeth in the lower jaw.
