The maxillary bone is the upper jaw whereas the mandible is the lower jaw. So the maxillary molar must refer to the molar on the upper jaw and the mandibular molar is the molar on the lower jaw.

Did Louis XIV have bad teeth?

Is losing a 2nd molar on the bottom going to hurt the molar on top?
Well, yes it can be damaging to the opposing tooth or teeth. It's not just the second molar, but loss of a premolar or molar teeth in one jaw, can and and will in all likelihood cause the supra eruption of the opposing tooth. To put it simply, suppose you lose a molar in the lower jaw, then the molar opposite it will have nothing to come in contact against while you chew. So over a period of time the upper tooth will slowly descend into the now vacant spot of its old friend! Initially you may not notice it but slowly it becomes painful sometimes severely so. Also because of the shift in position of the supra erupting tooth it may become conducive to lodgement of food debris. Doesn't sound very pleasing does it? To avoid all this it would be best to replace the lost tooth without much delay and get on with life.

Do you have to replace first molar?
With the exception of an emergency extraction, all dental care is elective, so no, you do not have to replace the first molar. It comes down to a 'quality-of-life' issue. Will going through the time and expense of replacing the molar improve your quality of life enough to justify it? Put another way, will not replacing the molar have a significant negative impact on your life? Things to consider with your dentist include: 1. Ability to chew your food. Are there enough other teeth to do the job? 2. Appearance. Will the missing tooth make you more unattractive or self conscious? 3. Will loss of the molar have impact on the function or position of other teeth, or the function of the jaw or mouth in the long-term? In summary, only you, in consultation with your dentist, can decide whether replacing a molar is important enough to do it.
How do you calculate dental points?
Teeth which are not considered necessary for efficient mastication are alloted ONE POINT each and those essential TWO POINTS each. For instance, each incisor, canine, 1st and 2nd premolars will have have a value of one point provided their corresponding lower teeth are present.Each 1st and 2nd molar and well developed 3rd molar will have a value of two points provided they are in good opposition to corresponding teeth in the lower jaw. In the case the 3rd molar is not well developed, it will have a value of one point only.When all the 16 teeth are present in the upper jaw and in good functional opposition to corresponding teeth in the lower jaw, the total value will be 20 or 22 points according to whether the 3rd molars are well developed or not. - Any 4 of the 6 anterior; and- Any 6 of the 10 posterior.The following teeth will be present in the upper jaw and in good functional opposition to corresponding teeth in the lower jaw:Provided there are at least 14 dental points in the mouth, all these teeth must be sound and repairable. The minimum number of points required is 14.

What does it mean if your jaw hurts and its almost like pulsing?
I have experienced something similar in the past...jaw pain with kind of a 'whooshing' or pulsating in the ear area on the same side as the jaw pain. I finally mentioned it to my chiropractor who did an adjustment of the jaw, and all of the symptoms disappeared.
