CONCLUSION
A thorough clinical and radiographic evaluation are key in ensuring
adequate management. Whereas panoramic imaging is considered the gold
standard, CBCT is highly recommended in order to evaluate the 3D
position of such impactions and their relationship with critical
structures before surgical intervention. Taking all diagnostic factors
of this case into account, long term follow up was recommended due to
the proximity of the molar apices to the IAN and inferior border of
mandible.
