The first 'adult' molars come through at around 6years of age, the next lot at about 12yrs & the last lot (if they make it past the gum line) are the wisdom teeth which come between the ages of 17 - 21 generally. For a 3D model & a good stage by stage description please refer to the related link.
Molars: Molars are the large teeth with four cusps located in the back of the mouth behind the premolars. Adults have twelve molars (four being wisdom teeth), with six in the upper and six in the lower arches; three on each side of the mouth. Molars have wide, flat surfaces for biting, chewing and grinding food.
