Abstract
The Retromolar foramen/canal are one of the non-metric variants of the mandible located in the retromolarfossa of the mandible behind the 3rd molar of mandible. These are obviously of profound dental and surgicalimportance. The aim of the study was to know the prevalence of retromolar canal/foramen in north Indianpopulation. In the present study, 35 dry mandibles of unknown sex of north Indian origin were examined bynaked eyes to know the incidence of retromolar foramen/canal. The retromolar foramen/canal was found in 6mandibles (17.14%), bilaterally in 2 mandibles and unilaterally in 4 mandibles. We conclude that retromolarforamen /canal is of profound clinical importance.
