ABSTRACT
The retromolar pad is a mucosal formation that is used for determining the height of the occlusal plane. The present study analyzes the biometric characteristics of 81 retromolars pad, maximum longitudinal and transverse diameters were measured and classified according to shape. The maximum transverse diameter present an average of 7.94 mm (SD 2.09), while the maximum longitudinal diameter average was 11.202 mm (SD 2.5089), there were no significant differences between the average obtained on the right and left side retromolar pad (p<0.05). The 53.1 percent was classified as oval (N = 43), 29.6 percent rounded (N = 24) and 17.3 percent as triangular (N = 14).
RESUMEN
La papila retromolar es una formaciónmucosa que se utiliza para la determinación de la altura del plano oclusal. En el presente estudio se analizan las características biométricas de 81 papilas retromolares, se midieron los diámetros transverso y longitudinal máximo y se clasificaron de acuerdo a forma. El diámetro transverso máximo presentó una media de 7,94 mm (DS 2,09), mientras que la media del diámetro longitudinal máximo fue de 11,202 mm (DS 2,5089), no se encontraron diferencias significativasentre las medias obtenidas en la papila retromolar del lado derecho e izquierdo (p<0,05). El 53,1 por ciento fue clasificada como ovalada (N=43), el 29,6 por ciento como redondeada (N=24) y el 17,3 por ciento como triangular (N=14).
