N2 - The prevalence of an anatomic variation, called retrocuspid papilla, was determined in Israeli Jews. The distribution of the retrocuspid papillae, according to two age groups, and symmetry within the dental arch and in relation to ethnic origin were examined. Results showed that retrocuspid papillae were observed in 38.5% of the young group and in 11.3% of the adult group. Greater occurrence of bilateral than unilateral retrocuspid papillae was observed in each age group and in both sexes. No significant ethnic trend was found when the prevalence of retrocuspid papillae was examined in relation to the ethnic origin of the study sample.
