Which molar is considered the most symmetrical?

  1. maxillary first molar

  2. mandibular second molar

  3. mandibular first molar

  4. maxillary second molar

The correct answer is: mandibular second molar

The mandibular second molar is considered the most symmetrical among the options provided. This is because the mandibular second molar typically has a more uniform shape compared to the other molars. Its crown and roots are usually more balanced and similar on the right and left sides, giving it a higher degree of symmetry. In contrast, the other teeth listed may have variations in their morphology that make them less symmetrical than the mandibular second molar.
