When using forceps to extract a maxillary first molar, the forceps movement should be principally in the buccal direction because the
    
      
        
          
          buccal bone is thinner than the palatal bone
        
      
      
      
    
      
        
          
          buccal roots are shorter than palatal root
      
      
      
    
      
        
          
          risk for sinus perforation is minimized
      
      
      
    
      
        
          
          furcation is more accessible from the bucca
