Retrospective Radiographic Study to identify the Path of the Mandibular Canal and it's Relationship with the Mandibular Third Molar in Damascus


Abstract in English

The aim of this study was to identify the configuration of the mandibular canal radiographically in the vertical direction on Digital Panoramic Radiographs to evaluate the relationship of the mandibular canal with the Status of the third mandibular Molar which will add important diagnostic radiographic signs specially before performing extraction of the mandibular 3rd molar .
