Damn. Have seen it happen a lot.
Second molars are so close to the hinge angle they take a beating. My dad had a 2nd molar blow up and need a root canal. No chance I was doing it, but I was gonna go in and take the nerve out (pulpotomy) and get him out of pain. Found a crack and had to extract it.
If you had to lose a tooth, second molar would be the one to lose.
