The assesment of relationship between the angulation of impacted mandibular third molar teeth and the thickness of lingual bone: A prospective clinical study

Abstract: BackgroundOur purpose was to investigate the relationship between the angulation of mandibular third molars and the thickness of the lingual bone, which can affect the risk of lingual nerve damage during lower third molars surgical extraction.Material and MethodsThis study consisted of 104 patients (42 males and 62 females), aged between 18-42 years (24.67 ± 6.11 years). Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images were taken for preoperative assessment. The teeth were divided into four groups according to thei… Show more

“…Furthermore, for many other surgical procedures, the overall dimension of the mandible is crucial. This is the case in the removal of wisdom teeth, in the application of buccal mini screws for orthodontic anchorage and of course in orthognathic surgery [25][26][27]. Therefore, this study used CBCTs to assess the intraosseous course of the IAN, the bone thickness between the lateral wall of the mandibular canal and the buccal border of the mandibular cortical plate and the position of the mental foramen in relation to the neighbouring teeth.…”

“…LN lesions become permanent in about 1% of cases [ 16 , 49 ]. In order to prevent LN lesion, it seems safe to preoperatively verify the integrity of the lingual cortex, avoiding forces that could break it and, in case of a lingual tilted crown, to perform a horizontal coronectomy in the mesial–distal direction [ 60 , 61 , 62 ]. If a lingual flap must be elevated, it must be protected with wide and rounded-edge retractors [ 14 , 63 , 64 ].…”

“…The study of bone thickness in maxillary and mandibular dentition has been gaining attention in Implantology, 5,6 Periodontology, 7 and Oral Surgery. 8 The investigation of bone anatomy is important in many branches of Dentistry, influencing surgical planning, 6,9 dental implant rehabilitation outcome, 10 and selection of the best positioning for skeletal anchorage, which improves orthodontic mechanics. 11 However, information regarding bone thickness in the apical region of maxillary and mandibular teeth is scarce, though very important for endodontic purposes, specially for the surgical planning in paraendodontic surgery.…”
