Cone beam CT findings of retromolar canals: Report of cases and literature review
A 39-year-old male visited the Yonsei University Dental Hospital for extraction of the left mandibular third molar. On a sagittal CBCT image, a curving branch of the mandibular canal with a recurrent path at the right retromolar area was found. The passage of RMC, which branches from the mandibular canal, ended in a round radiolucent foramen of the retromolar fossa (RMF) as it moved superiorly approaching the most posterior molar area (). The RMC was not detected on his panoramic radiograph ().
