Selective Cone-Beam CT Referral for Mandibular Third Molars Based on Panoramic Risk Signs: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Diagnostic Study
2026-08-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> /Objectives: Panoramic radiography is the first-line examination before mandibular third molar extraction, but two-dimensional imaging may limit assessment of root proximity to the inferior alveolar canal. This study assessed panoramic risk signs for identifying root–inferior alveolar canal (IAC) contact, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as the reference standard, and evaluated a se...
