Résumé

Objectif : Déterminer l’incidence, la morphologie, le calibre, le trajet et les différentes variations du Canal Rétro-Molaire (CRM) dans une population tunisienne sur 100 CBCTs.
Matériels et méthodes : Des reconstitutions sagittales, coronales et axiales de 100 CBCT numériques ont été analysées à l’aide du logiciel Galileos Viewer 1.9. Les CRM retrouvés ont été classés en trois groupes selon leur morphologie. La hauteur, le diamètre, la distance le séparant de la 2ème molaire et le lieu d’ouverture de chaque CRM ont été mesurés.
Résultats : L’incidence du CRM a été évaluée à 18%. Quarante-deux pour cent avaient un trajet vertical (type A), 17% un trajet courbé (type B) et 36% un trajet horizontal (type C). Quelques formes atypiques ont également été retrouvées. La hauteur moyenne était de 15.38 mm ± 3.2, le diamètre moyen à la terminaison était de 1.37 mm ± 0.06. Dans la plupart des cas, le CMR s'ouvre par un foramen distant 16,09 mm ± 2,81 de la face distale de la deuxième molaire.
Conclusion : L’incidence relativement élevée du CRM met en exergue l’importance de l’examen radiologique afin de prévoir certaines difficultés opératoires liées à cette variation anatomique.

Abstract
Retro-molar canal: a biometric study on 100 CBCTs

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the incidence, morphology, size, course and the different variations of the Retro-Molar Canal (RMC) in a Tunisian population using 100 CBCTs.
Materials and methods: Sagittal, cross-sectional and axial images from 100 digital CBCTs were
analyzed using Galileos Viewer 1.9 Software. RMCs were classified into three groups according to their form. The height, the diameter, the width, and the opening site of each CRM were measured.
Results: The incidence of the RMC was 18%. Forty-two percent had a vertical course (type A), 17% had a curved course (type B) and 36% had a horizontal course (type C). A few atypical forms were also reported. The mean height was 15.38 mm ± 3.2, the mean diameter was 1.37 mm ± 0.06. In most cases, the RMC opens up through one foramen distanced from the distal aspect of the second molar by 16.09 mm ± 2.81.
Conclusion: Incidence of the RMC emphasizes the importance of the radiological exam, in order to avoid a number of complications linked to this anatomical variation.
