Evaluation of the relationship between appearances of the lingual foramen on panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography

Clinicians may consider using three-dimensional imaging for procedures with a risk of hemorrhagic and neurosensory complications such as dental implant placement in the anterior mandible.
