Evaluation of the Inferior Alveolar Canal Course in Relation to Fully and Partially Impacted Lower Third Molar Roots via Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

There was no relationship between the shape of the IAC and the number of roots or type of impaction. Based on these results, the interesting correlation between age, type of impaction, and number of roots requires further investigation and explanation. The frequency of canals in contact with the root further emphasizes the importance of CBCT imaging for preoperative visualization.
