Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare a three-dimensional (3D) artificial intelligence (AI)- driven model with panoramic radiography (PANO) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in assessing the risk of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury after mandibular wisdom tooth (M3M) removal through a within-patient controlled trial.
