ArXi:2603.11850v1 Announce Type: cross Impaction of the mandibular third molar in proximity to the mandibular canal increases the risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury. Panoramic radiography is routinely used to assess this relationship. Automated classification of molar-canal overlap could clinical triage and reduce unnecessary CBCT referrals, while federated learning (FL) enables multi-center collaboration without sharing patient data.
