"There are radiographic-identifiable features of the mandibular canal (which contains the inferior alveolar nerve) that place the patient at higher risk of inferior alveolar nerve injuries (although there are other. CT/CBCT allows for more accurate delineation of the relationship than OPG."
"OPG"
"On OPG, the proximity of the third mandibular roots to the mandibular canal is a risk factor, with a higher risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury with an intimate relationship 2:"
"In addition to an intimate relationship, interruption of the white line of the mandibular canal has been shown to be risk factors on OPG 3."
"The presence of a close or intimate relationship of the mandibular canal with the third mandibular molar roots on OPG may necessitate further evaluation with CT or cone-beam CT. Factors on the coronal plane that increase the risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury include 1:"
