Mandibular Impacted Teeth Closely Attached to the Posterior Canal of Molars: A Case Report

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2024.10.017

Abstract

Abstract: Inferior alveolar nerve injury is a common complication of mandibular impacted third molar extraction, and the branching of the inferior alveolar nerve usually increases the risk of intraoperative nerve damage. This article reports a case of a mandibular nerve canal with a posterior canal branch located near the impacted tooth. The course and clinical risks are discussed through CBCT combined with relevant literature.

Key words: inferior alveolar nerve, posterior canal of molars, impacted teeth
