Inferior alveolar nerve damage following removal of mandibular third molar teeth. A prospective study using panoramic radiography.

Comparision of anatomiacal position of the root of third mandibular incisor relative to the alveolar canal in the two methods of panoramic radiograpy and CBCT

Background and Aims: In impacted third molar surgery, panoramic radiography is a preliminary technique for assessing the consequences associated with inferior alveolar nerve injury. However, this technique cannot provide enough information to determine the true risk in all cases. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of panoramic and CBCT radiographs in evaluating the relationship b...

The Assessment of the Pattern of Impacted Mandibular Third Molars in Ardabil City Population

  Background & objectives: Third molar impaction (wisdom tooth) is a widespread phenomenon. It is indeed very important to study the impacted teeth pattern in the community since it will help to develop an appropriate treatment plan for individuals of the community. The aim of this study was to investigate the impaction pattern of mandibular third molar in Ardabil population. Methods: In this s...

Ph.D Thesis THE ROLE OF PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHY IN THE PREDICTION OF INFERIOR ALVEOLAR NERVE INJURY AFTER MANDIBULAR THIRD MOLAR SURGICAL REMOVAL

Comparison of panoramic radiography with cone beam CT in predicting the relationship of the mandibular third molar roots to the alveolar canal

PURPOSE Preoperative radiographic assessment of the mandibular third molars is essential to prevent inferior alveolar nerve damage during extraction. The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of panoramic signs of association between the roots of teeth and the canal, and to compare the panoramic signs with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS CBCT...

Comparison of the diagnostic value of CBCT and Digital Panoramic Radiography with surgical findings to determine the proximity of an impacted third mandibular molar to the inferior alveolar nerve canal

Background: This study evaluated and determined the proximity of an impacted third mandibular molar (TMM) to the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) by using CBCT and digital panoramic radiography. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytic research applied CBCT and panoramic radiographs for 60 subjects (28 men, 32 women). Subjects selected showed a close proximity about the TMM to the inferior...
