This study aimed to assess the relationship of impacted mandibular third molars with the mandibular canal on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. This cross-sectional study was conducted on CBCT scans of 137 patients with 204 impacted mandibular third molars. The relation of age, gender, class of impaction, anatomical position of canal relative to tooth (buccal, lingual, inferior, inter-radicular), tooth angulation (mesioangular, vertical, distoangular, horizontal), relationship of tooth with the mandibular canal (no contact, in contact, relation), relationship of tooth with the mandibular cortex, anatomical site of contact of tooth with the mandibular cortex (buccal, lingual, inferior), and the impression of canal (grooving, no effect) on impacted teeth were evaluated. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. Class B of impaction (78.9%), inferior position of canal relative to the impacted tooth (53.9%) and mesioangular angulation (53.4%) had the highest frequency, respectively. The relationship of tooth with the mandibular canal was "relation" in most cases (53.4%) followed by no contact (26.9%) and in contact (19.6%). Significant associations were noted between depth of impaction (P < 0.001), tooth angulation (P = 0.024), anatomical position of canal relative to tooth (P < 0.001), relationship of tooth with the mandibular cortex (P = 0.032) and anatomical site of contact of tooth with the mandibular cortex (P = 0.013) with the impacted tooth-mandibular canal relationship. CBCT provides accurate information about the relationship of impacted third molars with the mandibular canal and can decrease the risk of traumatization of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) during their surgical extraction. |
