Having power to grind; grinding; as, the molar teeth; also, of or pertaining to the molar teeth.
Of, or pertaining to, a molar tooth. One of the teeth behind the premolar teeth; for example, in the opossum three on each side in upper jaw and in lower jaw, making 12 in all. A molar tooth is not preceded in embryological development by a deciduous (milk) tooth.
A tooth located in the back of the mouth used for crushing and grinding food. There are usually three permanent molars on each side of the jaws. There are two primary molars on each side of the jaw.
a medial process of the mandible; the normal form is a large subcylindrical body with a terminal surface or ridges or teeth for grinding or trituration
grinding tooth with a broad crown; located behind the premolars
of or pertaining to molar teeth; "molar weight"
pertaining to large units of behavior; "such molar problems of personality as the ego functions"--R.R. Hunt
a complex tooth that has multiple roots and therefore multiple root canals
A cheek tooth located at the rear of the mouth behind the premolars. Often adapted for grinding.
The largest and most posterior teeth in the mouth with broad biting surfaces for grinding of food. Adults have 12 molars including wisdom teeth if present.
the largest teeth, found in the back of the mouth.
One of twelve teeth in a person; located distal tot he second bicuspid on each side of each arch.
One of four basic kinds of mammalian teeth located posterior to premolars; molars have no deciduous precursor.
The last 3 upper and lower teeth on both side of the mouth.
Teeth posterior to the premolars (bicuspids) on either side of the jaw; grinding teeth, having large crowns and broad chewing surfaces.
In dentistry, a molar is one of the posterior teeth well adapted to grinding, in keeping with its origin from the Latin mola meaning millstone. See the entire definition of Molar
A tooth having a crown with three, four, or five cusps on the grinding surface, a bifid root in the lower jaw, and three conical roots in the upper jaw. In permanent dentition, there are three on either side behind the premolars; in deciduous dentition, there are two on either side behind the canines.
Molars are the rearmost and most complicated kind of tooth in most mammals. In many mammals they grind food; hence the Latin name mola, "millstone".
