Intraorally exposed anterior Stafne bone defect: A case report
2012, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral RadiologyCitation Excerpt :An anterior bone defect is frequently misdiagnosed as a periapical pathology of adjacent teeth or as a residual cyst if there are no teeth in relation to the lesion.2,7,25-28 Improved imaging techniques, such as CT and magnetic resonance imaging, may be beneficial in the diagnosis of anterior defects.22,23,25 CT is noninvasive and effective in the evaluation of bone borders.
Aberrant location of salivary gland inclusion: Report of a case with review of the literature
2011, European Journal of Radiology ExtraCitation Excerpt :This rather large difference in prevalence rates between studies has been attributed to the difficulty in identifying these entities radiographically. Higher incidences were reported in dry mandibles and may be the result of the authors being able to detect the defect in dried specimens more readily than on the radiographs of the jaws of living patients [37,55,56]. Langlais et al. [67] examined 469 dry mandible specimens and reported that 1.3% had either an anterior or a posterior lingual cortical depression.
Radiolucency of the mandibular angle: Stafne bone cavity Case series
2011, Dental CadmosAnterior mandibular lingual salivary gland defect: A report of a case diagnosed with cone-beam computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
2007, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology and EndodontologyCitation Excerpt :Located most commonly in the canine premolar region, anterior mandibular lingual salivary gland defects have also been documented in the anterior incisor area and adjacent to the first molars.26,28 Occasionally, tissue contents are encompassed by bone; however, the vast majority represent an indentation on the lingual surface above the level of the mylohyoid attachment.9,33 Archaeological studies have also noted bilateral depressions on the buccal aspects of dried mandibles.
Giant mandibular bone defect: Report of a case
2006, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryAnterior lingual mandibular salivary gland defect (Stafne defect) presenting as a residual cyst
2002, Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, and EndodonticsCitation Excerpt :A sialography could be done, but this procedure is rarely performed successfully in anterior salivary gland defect because of the presence of numerous ducts of Rivinus, which have a small diameter.3,23,29,34 Other techniques, such as computerized tomographic (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging, are preferred, especially for the anterior variant.32,35,36 The dental CT scan is easy to perform and noninvasive.
