Abstract :

Retromolar pad area plays a vital role and is a major landmark in faication of removable prosthesis but still there is reliable but insufficient information on different bone, mucosa, muscle tissue forms, shapes, sizes and distribution at the mandibular regions in edentulous patients.The aim of this study was to evaluate the different anatomic shapes of retro–molar pads in completely edentulous patients in kashmiri populations. The evaluation of the shape of retromolar pads was done in 90 patients who had reported to the department for the complete denture faication. The analysis of the retromolar shapes was done indirectly on the master casts obtained from the denture faication procedures. According to shapes of retromolar pads Table 1 shows 55% were pear shaped, 15.5% were round and 29.4% were triangular shaped. The variation in different shapes of retromolar pad was not significant in Kashmiri population.
