RF-I: root furcation fornix to inferior alveolar nerve distance; MRA-I/DRA-I: mesial/distal root apex to the inferior alveolar nerve distance; IRB2/IRB4: the interradicular alveolar bone thickness at 2 mm, 4 mm apical from the furcation fornix; IRBA: the interradicular alveolar bone thickness between the mesial and distal root apex.
