Key Points

  • This research investigates factors that predict inferior alveolar nerve injury during third-molar surgery.
  • Reviewed tomographic imaging for identifying high-risk features.
  • Assessed the risk factors associated with IAN injury during third-molar extraction.
  • Developed guidelines for reporting features that may inform surgical decisions.
  • Identified specific high-risk features in imaging that correlate with IAN injury.
  • Emphasized the need for less traumatic surgical techniques to reduce injury risks.
  • Recommended precautionary measures for dental surgeons.

Abstract

Oral and maxillofacial radiologists should report these high-risk features to inform dental surgeons and patients. Less traumatic surgical techniques as well as precautionary measures should be considered to minimize IAN injury risks during third-molar extraction. The protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42024582042).
