The ..... assist the mandibular molars in performing the major portion of the work of mastication. These are usually the first permanent teeth to erupt into the maxillary arch. Because of their size and their anchorage in the jaws, the molars are the largest and strongest maxillary teeth. Each maxillary molar usually includes four major cusps, with two cusps on the buccal portion of the occlusal table and two on the lingual portion. Each maxillary molar has three well-separated and well-developed roots. A tooth with three roots is said to be trifurcated, which means divided into thirds.
