| Abstract | Background: In making a decision for extracting an impacted mandibular third molar tooth, assessing the risk of injury to inferior alveolar nerve is important. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the findings of panoramic radiography and CBCT in assessing the relationship between impacted mandibular third molar and inferior alveolar canal. Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, electronic files of panoramic radiography of 132 patients referred to radiology department of Tehran school of dentistry were studied (2012-14). Ninety-two files were selected only from types by darkening of the apex of impacted mandibular third molar or interference with the white line of the mandibular canal in panoramic view. Their contact with mandibular canal were also investigated in cross sectional CBCT views. Findings: In males and females there was a high relation between panoramic and CBCT diagnosis in cases of darkening of the root and interference with the white line (P |
