The retromolar canal is an anatomical variation located in the posterior part of the mandible. The retromolar canal contains the accessory neurovascular bundle of the inferior alveolar nerve and myelinating fibers of the buccal nerve. The prevalence of retromolar canal with panoramic radiography varies from 0.08–8.3%, while with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) it varies 10–66%, so knowledge about retromolar canal would facilitate oral surgical treatment in the retromolar area, avoiding complications resulting from damage to its contents.
