Construction of the risk prediction model of the alveolar antral artery as the intrasinusidal type at the point of UL6 by Zhipeng Wang, Xiaowen Hou, Qi Liu, Yuqing Shangguan, Hua Zhou

“…Abstract This study aimed to identify predictors of intrasinusidal alveolar antral artery (AAA) localization at the upper left first molar (UL6) region and develop a clinical risk prediction model. A retrospective analysis of 243 eligible cases with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging was conducted, categorizing AAA into intrasinusidal and non-intrasinusidal groups. …”
