  • Title: Unilateral bone cavities situated near the angle of the mandibula.
    Author: Miloğlu Ö, Sekerci AE, Yasa Y, Dagistan S.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2015 Jan; 26(1):e27-8. PubMed ID: 25565233.
    Abstract:
    Stafne bone defects (SBDs) are asymptomatic radiolucent lingual/buccal bone lesions of the lower jaw and are frequently caused by soft tissue inclusion. These defects have a cystlike appearance on plain radiographs. The diagnosis of this defect is incidental because patients do not usually present clinical symptoms. The common variant of SBD exists at the third molar region of the mandible below the inferior alveolar canal. To date, only 1 case of multilocular SBD has been reported in the literature, including both clinical cases and archaeological specimens. The purpose of the current study was to describe a new case of multilocular appearance of SBD near the angle of the mandibula that was diagnosed with the aid of a three-dimensional cone beam computed tomographic scan.
