ABSTRACT: This case report describes the treatment of a 27-year old man who presented to the oral and maxillofacial surgery division of a U.S. Navy recruit training center. Cone beam computed tomography determined the true three-dimensional relationship of the impacted teeth to the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle. The tomograms aided in the surgical planning to decrease the probability of iatrogenic postoperative nerve disturbance.
