Background/purpose: In lower third molar (LM3) surgery, panoramic radiography (PAN) is important for the initial assessment of the anatomical association between LM3 and the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). This study aimed to develop a deep learning model for the automated evaluation of the LM3-IAN a...
