Özet

Background/purpose: Various imaging modalities have been used by clinicians in the preoperative assessment of the third molar position. The purpose of this study is to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of orthopantomography (OPG) markers in determining the anatomical relation between the mandibular third molar and the mandibular canal by comparison using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
