Assessing the spatial relationship between mandibular third molars and the inferior alveolar canal using a deep learning-based approach: a proof-of-concept study

Abstract Background The distance between the mandibular third molar (M3) and the mandibular canal (MC) is a key factor in assessing the risk of injury to the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). However, existing deep learning systems have not yet been able to accurately quantify the M3-MC distance in 3D...
