| Abstract | Stafne’s bone cavity (SBC) was first described by Stafne in 1942. He reported 35 asymptomatic unilateral radiolucent cavities in the posterior region of the mandible. Lesions were located between mandibular angle and the third molar, below the inferior dental canal and above the mandibular basis (1). Many different terms have been introduced like static bone cyst, lingual mandibular bone defect, idiopathic bone cavity and lingual mandibular bone depression in order to define the lesion (2,3). However the term SBC corresponds to the posterior lingual type which is the most frequent variant of the lesion (4). Anterior lingual type of the lesion is seen 7 times less frequent and usually located between the lower incisor and the premolar areas (5). SBC is generally encountered incidentally on routine plain radiographs and differential diagnosis includes odontogenic cyst and tumor like lesions (6). The aim of this paper was to present three case reports of SBC which were diagnosed with dental computerized tomography. |
