A STUDY OF RETROMOLAR FORAMEN/CANAL IN NORTH INDIAN POPULATION
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy and Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The Retromolar foramen/canal are one of the non-metric variants of the mandible located in the retromolar fossa of the mandible behind the 3rd molar of mandible. These are obviously of profound dental and surgical importance. The aim of the study was to know the prevalence of retromolar canal/foramen in north Indian population. In the present study, 35 dry mandibles of unknown sex of north Indian origin were examined by naked eyes to know the incidence of retromolar foramen/canal. The retromolar foramen/canal was found in 6 mandibles (17.14%), bilaterally in 2 mandibles and unilaterally in 4 mandibles. We conclude that retromolar foramen /canal is of profound clinical importance.
