Does the extent of cortical perforation of the inferior alveolar nerve canal by the roots of third molar teeth seen on cone beam computed tomography predict postoperative paraesthesia? - A prospective clinical study

The aim of this study was to assess the extent of cortical perforation in millimetres (mm) in inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) canal on coronal section of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to predict IAN injury in high risk patients. We also analysed relation of position of canal and number of roots...
