    Journal: J Am Dent Assoc; 1987 Jun; 114(6):825-6. PubMed ID: 3475362.
    Abstract:
    The lingual cortical mandibular defect is easily diagnosed radiographically. The key features include: a well-defined radiolucent area, location below the mandibular canal, and placement anterior to the angle of the mandible. Routine surgical exploration is not indicated, but sialography or radiographic follow-up may be useful.
