The third molars, commonly known as wisdom teeth, are thought to be remnants from our ancestors who needed additional teeth for grinding down plant tissue and tough foods. As human diets and jaw sizes have evolved, many people no longer have enough space for these teeth, leading to potential impaction and other dental issues. While they may serve little purpose today, some individuals have no problems with their wisdom teeth and keep them without complications.

In the Universal Numbering System, teeth are identified by specific numbers. The permanent teeth are numbered from 1 to 32, starting with the upper right third molar (tooth #1) and moving across to the upper left third molar (tooth #16), then continuing with the lower left third molar (tooth #17) to the lower right third molar (tooth #32). For primary teeth, the letters A to T are used, with A being the upper right second molar and T being the lower right second molar.
