What is the retromolar triangle?
The retromolar triangle, retromolar fossa, retromolar space or retromolar gap is a space at the rear of a mandible, between the back of the last molar and the anterior edge of the ascending ramus where it crosses the alveolar margin. The pterygomandibular raphe connects the hamulus of the medial pterygoid plate to it.
What is the retromolar pad?
The retromolar pad is a mass of soft tissue located at the posterior end of the mandibular alveolar ridge. This pad covers the underlying bone with surrounding attached muscle fibers. Sicher described retromolar pad as a triangular soft elevation of mucosa that lies distal to third molar [1].
What is the function of retromolar Trigone?
The mucosa covering the Retromolar Trigone is rigid as it is tightly adherent to the underlying alveolar bone.

The rTR is known as the anatomic crossroad where muscular and nervous components converge.
