A technique to locate Ricketts’ Xi point in 3D CBCT images: A cross-sectional study
The study identified the accuracy of Xi point construction and its linear relation to the mandibular foramen. Xi point validation in relation to the mandibular foramen serves as a guide for inferior alveolar nerve course identification. The results of the study also find applications in bone screw placement and growth prediction.
