Mandibular first molar
The mandibular first molar is the tooth located distally (away from the midline of the face) from both the mandibular second premolars of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline of the face) from both mandibular second molars. The function of this molar is similar to that of all molars in regard to grinding being the principal action during mastication, commonly known as chewing.
