  • Title: The anatomy of the lower-third-molar roots and its relation to the mandibular canal.
    Author: Engström H, Sagne S.
    Journal: Swed Dent J; 1980; 4(5):169-75. PubMed ID: 7015544.
    Abstract:
    The root anatomy of the lower third molars and the distance from apex to the mandibular canal were examined in radiographs. Three different materials were examined; one medieval with erupted teeth, one modern with erupted teeth and one modern with impacted third molars. Uncomplicated root anatomy was recorded for 75% of the teeth in the medieval material and for 20% in the modern materials. A position of the root apex near the mandibular canal was more frequently observed in the modern material.
