Answer 1

Adult humans typically have 32 permanent teeth, including:

- 8 incisors (4 upper, 4 lower)

- 4 canines (2 upper, 2 lower)

- 8 premolars (4 upper, 4 lower)

- 12 molars (including 4 wisdom teeth, 2 upper, and 2 lower)

However, the total number of teeth can vary due to factors such as genetics, dental health, and the presence of wisdom teeth. Some individuals may have fewer teeth if they have undergone dental extractions or if teeth are congenitally missing.
