Retromolar space 1245973 220912419 2008-06-22T05:05:52Z 24.36.74.15 fix wikilink The '''retromolar space''' or '''retromolar gap''' is a space at the rear of a [[mandible]], between the back of the last [[Molar (tooth)|molar]] and the anterior edge of the ascending [[ramus]] where it crosses the [[Alveolar ridge|alveolar margin]]. Retromolar gap is found in some Neandertals because they had midfacial prognathism. This caused the lower toothrow to move forward, which led to the retromolar gap.
