Ectopic eruption of molars is more common in which area?

Mandibula
Maxilla
Both equally
Neither; it's rare

The correct answer is: Maxilla

Ectopic eruption of molars is more common in the maxilla because the upper jaw tends to have more space for the molars to erupt, while the lower jaw is often more crowded. This can lead to a higher likelihood of molars being out of position in the upper jaw. In contrast, the lower jaw may be more susceptible to impaction of molars due to limited space. Therefore, options A, C, and D are less likely to be correct because they do not take into account the anatomical differences between the upper and lower jaw.
