Abstract

The retro molar canal is an inconstant anatomical variation of the mandibular canal that opens up in retro molar trigone. This study aims to investigate the incidence, morphology, size, course and the different variations of the RMC using 100 CBCTs.

Keywords:

retro-molar, canal, biometric study, 100 CBCTs.
