A highly significant statistical correlation, therefore, exists between “IAN cortical interruption” and each of the two variables “IAN intraoperative exposure” and “IAN impression on the root surface.” CBCT was able to predict a direct contact between the third molar root and IAN with a 75.67% accuracy (sensitivity: 100%; specificity: 58.14%; PPV: 63.27%; NPV: 100%; P < 0.01).
