1/54. Imaging of a Stafne bone cavity: what MR adds and why a new name is needed.Stafne bone cavities are asymptomatic radiolucencies seen at the angle of the mandible. Although plain films are often sufficient for diagnosis, confirmatory imaging is needed in atypical cases. We describe the MR imaging findings of a Stafne bone cavity, describe the contents, explain why a new name is needed, and discuss the relative merits of different radiologic techniques for establishing this diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = bone (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/54. So-called simple bone cyst of the jaw: a family of pseudocysts of diverse nature and etiology.The nature and etiology of so-called simple bone cyst (SBC) are still a subject of debate. Our comprehensive review of the literature suggests that SBC, which appears histologically to be a single entity, has different natures and etiologies, resulting in divergent clinical features. In addition, an interesting case of mandibular SBC in an 11-year-old girl is presented with details of radiographic changes over a 7-year period. Fully documented patient records revealed that this lesion originated in the apical area of the first molar and took about 4 years to develop into a clinically evident bony expansion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.83333333333333keywords = bone (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/54. Traumatic bone cyst--a case report.Traumatic bone cyst is an asymptomatic, slow growing, non expansile lesion commonly diagnosed during routine radiographic examination of the jaw bones. It is more frequently seen in young age, with predilection for anterior region of the mandible leading to a dramatic healing of the lesion. A typical case of traumatic bone cyst in a 12 year old girl is reported. A routine radiologic assessment of the patient with panoramic radiograph revealed a fairly large lesion in the anterior region of the mandible. On surgical exploration, clinical diagnosis was confirmed. Post operative successive radiograph shows progressive osseous healing.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1666666666667keywords = bone (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/54. Postoperative maxillary cyst following sinus bone graft: report of a case.Sinus bone grafting with autogenous bone is routinely performed to allow placement of endosseous dental implants. Although numerous maxillary sinuses have been successfully grafted, some complications of this procedure have been reported. These include maxillary sinusitis, resorption, infection and possible failure of grafts, loss of implants after 1-stage surgery, and oroantral fistulae. Only one case of postoperative maxillary cyst developing in the graft has been reported in the literature. Here, the authors report a similar case that necessitated grafting of the cyst with autologous iliac bone.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1666666666667keywords = bone (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/54. Multiple Stafne bone cavities: a diagnostic dilemma.Salivary gland inclusions in the mandible are relatively uncommon. If defects occur they are generally unilateral, although bilateral cases have been reported. This article describes an unusual case in which the dental panoramic tomogram revealed three radiolucent areas in the mandible. The diagnosis of the two posterior radiolucencies was confirmed as Stafne's bone cavities but a definite diagnosis for the parasymphyseal lesion remained elusive, even after surgery. However, Stafne's bone cavities are known to occur in this region and this diagnosis remains the most probable.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = bone (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/54. Stafne's bone cavity in the anterior mandible: a possible diagnostic challenge.Stafne was the first to report the presence of "bone cavities" in the angle of 35 mandibles. Such cavities generally appear in the area between the mandibular first molar and the mandibular angle, and are not considered rare. One of their primary radiological diagnostic features is the characteristic location below the mandibular canal. Stafne's bone cavity is relatively rare in the anterior mandible. The mandibular canal is not present in the anterior mandible. As a result, diagnosis in the anterior mandible may be missed. Needless treatment modalities such as endodontic treatment, bone trephining, and bone exploration may be conducted. The purpose of the present report is to describe a new case of Stafne's bone cavity in the anterior mandible and discuss the differential diagnosis process. The dental computerized tomography scan is suggested as the most suitable noninvasive diagnostic and follow-up modality for this bony configuration in the anterior mandible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.5keywords = bone (Clic here for more details about this article) |

8/54. Traumatic bone cyst: report of two cases and review of the literature.Traumatic bone cysts usually are found in young individuals and most frequently have the radiographic appearance of well-circumscribed radiolucent lesions with a tendency to scallop between the roots of the teeth. Two well-documented cases of traumatic bone cysts are presented in which some differences related to their radiographic features were observed. The possible explanations for these differences are discussed and a brief review of the literature regarding the main characteristics of traumatic bone cyst lesions also is provided.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.1666666666667keywords = bone (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/54. Well-defined unilocular radiolucency.Clinical and radiographic features provide significant clues for diagnosis of a traumatic bone cyst, which should be confirmed surgically to avoid unnecessary endodontic treatment or radical surgery due to a misdiagnosis. Management of the traumatic bone cyst is generally accomplished by the diagnostic process of surgical exploration. Reports of unusual clinical courses and an inadequate understanding of the etiology indicate that careful follow-up is essential.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = bone (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/54. Anterior lingual mandibular salivary gland defect (Stafne defect) presenting as a residual cyst.Lingual mandibular salivary gland inclusion (Stafne defect) is a developmental anomaly represented by a bone concavity usually containing submandibular gland tissue. The posterior mandible region, particularly at the angle and below the mandibular canal, is the common location, and the anterior mandibular variants occur rather seldom. The latter is usually observed in the premolar and cuspid region, or more rarely in the symphysis, as a round or ovoid radiolucency sometimes appearing superimposed over the teeth's apices, resembling a true cystic lesion or an odontogenic tumor. We report an additional case of anterior lingual mandibular salivary gland defect occurring in a 42-year-old white man. It presented as an asymptomatic radiolucency located on the left side of the mandible, in the region of an absent second premolar and first molar, above the alveolar canal, mimicking a residual cyst. Histopathologic examination of the "cyst" content revealed the absence of a cyst lining and the presence of normal sublingual gland tissue.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = bone (Clic here for more details about this article) |
