Lead Sponsor:

University of Roma La Sapienza

Conditions:

Mandibular Nerve Injury

Brief Summary

Objective The present study aimed to evaluate which factors were statistically associated with a greater probability of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) damage during lower third molar surgery. Study De...

Detailed Description

Exclusion criteria were the following: * lower third molar buds; * lack of contiguous second molar; * wide cyst-like areas or severe osteo-metabolic/tumor pathologies associated with the lower third ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • orthopantomographic superimposition between the lower third molar and at least the upper half of the mandibular canal, associated or not with the presence of one or more radiographic signs of proximity among those proposed by Rood and Shehab (1990):
  • 3-dimensional radiographic examination with a CT software;
  • any type of lower third molar impaction.

Exclusion

  • lower third molar buds;
  • lack of contiguous second molar;
  • wide cyst-like areas or severe osteo-metabolic/tumor pathologies associated with the lower third molar;
  • pre-operative neurosensory deficit related to IAN on the side where surgery was to be performed.
