Background: The traditionally established panoramic signs are not equally reliable. Which
panoramic high-risk signs indicate a true close contact on cone-beam computed …

Background/purpose In lower third molar (LM3) surgery, panoramic radiography (PAN) is
important for the initial assessment of the anatomical association between LM3 and the …

Objectives This study aimed to validate the accuracy of panoramic radiographic risk signs
through detection of presence or absence of corticalization between an impacted …

Factors affecting the occurrence of inferior alveolar nerve injury include the degree of
impaction, impaction gear angulation, and the interaction of the mandibular implant third …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the compatibility of radiological markers of
the impacted lower third molar (LTM) relationship to inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) in …

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the panoramic radiograph in judging the
relationship between the impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM) and the inferior alveolar …

Determining the exact positional relationship between mandibular third molar (M3) and
inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is important for surgical extractions. Panoramic radiography is …

Purpose We aimed to investigate whether cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) alters
the treatment decision for impacted mandibular third molar (M3M) surgery when the third …

Determining the exact positional relationship between mandibular third molar (M3) and
inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is important for surgical extractions. Panoramic radiography is …

Purpose Inferior alveolar nerve injury is a common complication following mandibular third
molar extraction. Accurate pre-operative assessment of the anatomical relationship between …
