2018, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :It is well known that lingual nerve spatial localization at the level of the third molar region varies widely from individual to individual, as well as within the same individual.12,13,15-24 Although several studies have attempted to define lingual nerve topographic relationships with the lower third molar in both the horizontal and vertical planes,15-22 their comparison is difficult because the reference points used for measurements are not unique. In addition, most of the articles often neglected important parameters, providing inaccurate information regarding race, age, gender, number of missing teeth, and degree of bone atrophy.
