Reliability of Panoramic Radiography in Determination of Neurosensory Disturbances Related to Dental Implant Placement in Posterior Mandible

Abstract

Introduction: During implantology procedures, one of the most serious complications is the damage of the inferior alveolar nerve, which may result in neurosensory disturbances (NSD). Panoramic radiographs have been considered for a primary evaluation to determine the bone height and implant-mandibular canal distance.
