a Cropped PTG shows mesiocaudal dislocation of d. 47 with the root tips projecting into the lower cortex of the mandible. Distocranially to the crown of d. 47 a large complex odontoma is visible. b Based on the CBCT examination the mandibular canal could be located between the buccal and lingual roots (arrows); the root tips are in contact apically. c Rapid prototyping models based on the CBCT examination. d Postoperative cropped PTG: the roots of d. 47 were not removed in order to avoid nerve damage of the mandibular nerve bundle
