Uberon Taxon note : Adult humans have twelve molars, in four groups of three at the back of the mouth.
The third, rearmost molar in each group is called a wisdom tooth. It is the last tooth
to appear, breaking through the surface of the gum at about the age of twenty, although
this varies from individual to individual. Ethnicity can also have an impact on the
age at which this occurs, with statistical variations between groups. The human mouth
contains upper (maxillary) and lower (mandibular) molars. They are: maxillary first
molar, maxillary second molar, maxillary third molar, mandibular first molar, mandibular
second molar, and mandibular third molar.;
