Which furcation is closest to the CEJ on the maxillary first molar?

Mesial
Distal
Facial
M<F<D

The correct answer is: M<F<D

The correct answer is D. This means that the furcation closest to the CEJ (cementoenamel junction) on a maxillary first molar is the mesial furcation. The other options, mesial, distal, and facial, are incorrect because they do not specifically refer to the furcation nearest to the CEJ. Option A and B, mesial and distal, refer to the positions of the furcation, while option C, facial, refers to the surface of the tooth. Option D provides a combination of both, indicating the specific location of the furcation closest to the CEJ.
