All the important parameters were studied using a vernier caliper.\u0000Results: The mean transverse diameter (TD) was found to be 27.75 ± 2.47mm (Mean ± SD) and the mean anteroposterior diameter (APD) was found to be 34.62 ± 3.58mm (Mean ± SD).

The mandibular impacted teeth are in proximity to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN), Buccal Nerve, and Lingual Nerve (LN).

CBCT was done in those patients in which the mandibular third molar was in close contact with the mandibular canal.\u0000Results: Collected data from 315 patients showed that the incidence of Inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and lingual nerve(LN)injury was 0.31%.

Out of 4680 cases, 1800 cases were evaluated as samples based upon inclusion and exclusion criteria. The prevalence of C-shaped root canals according to age, sex, and quadrant was calculated.

Unilateral cases (93.83%) of C-shaped were more prevalent than bilateral (6.17%).
