The document discusses the maxillary 1st molar, which is one of the permanent teeth located in the back upper part of the mouth. The maxillary 1st molar has a chewing surface with five cusps used for grinding food and is an important tooth for maintaining proper chewing and biting function as we age. Loss of a maxillary 1st molar can cause shifting of the remaining teeth and difficulty chewing on that side of the mouth if not replaced.
