Assessment of mandibular canal proximity to molar root apices in a Turkish subpopulation: A cone-beam computed tomography study

Key Points

To evaluate the proximity of the mandibular canal to molar root apices in a Turkish subpopulation.
Used cone-beam computed tomography for imaging
Analyzed positions of mandibular canal relative to molar roots
Focused on age and gender variations in risk of IAN injury
Higher risk of IAN injury observed in distal roots of second molars
Increased risk particularly noted in individuals aged 18-25 years
Females show more significant risk of IAN injury compared to males

Abstract

The risk of IAN injury during RCT was higher for the distal roots of second molar teeth, especially in the age group of 18-25 years and in female patients.
