“…27 Only few cases were represented with pain in the area. 3,14,32,42,62 Hayashi et al 22 also reported a case with pain; however, the pain was not related to the bone defect rather to periodontitis of the adjacent tooth. In our case, the pain also existed; however, it occurred from the deep caries lesion in the right canine tooth without any relation to bone cavity and resolved after the treatment of the tooth.…”

Lingual mandibular bone defect, also known as Stafne bone cavity, is mostly seen in the posterior portion of the mandible. Inclusions in the anterior portion are very unusual, with around 50 cases reported in the English-language literature. They are often asymptomatic conditions diagnosed during a routine radiographic examination. This article describes a case of anterior Stafne bone cavity in a 52-year-old man mistaken for periapical pathologic defect and referred for treatment. In addition to clinical examination, the patient was imaged using conventional periapical, panoramic radiography, and computed tomography. Confirmation of the salivary gland tissue in the lingual mandibular defect was made with the histopathologic examination after surgical intervention. The differential diagnoses, treatment choices, and pathogenesis of these bone cavities are also discussed after the case presentation along with the literature review.

“…However, this procedure is rarely performed successfully in anterior salivary gland defects because of the presence of numerous ducts of Rivinus, which have a small diameter. 5,25,26 Sialography can be also difficult to perform and uncomfortable for patients, exposing them to ionizing radiation. CBCT presents with some major advantages compared with MSCT.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of Stafne bone defect (SBD) and to describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of detected cases. Methods: A retrospective study was performed using panoramic radiographs from 34 221 patients undergoing dental treatment in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology at Erciyes University and Ataturk University, Turkey. After finding an image compatible with SBD in the radiographs, multislice CT (MSCT) on seven patients and cone beam CT (CBCT) on six patients were performed to confirm the diagnosis. Results: Of the 34 221 patients, 29 (0.08 %) had SBDs, of whom 4 were female (13.8%) and 25 were male (86.2 %). The age range of patients with SBD was 18-77 years (mean age 49.6 years). SBD was found in the lingual molar region in 28 patients and in the lingual caninepremolar region of the mandible in 1 patient. The contour of the concavities on CT images (MSCT and CBCT) was detected. The MSCT revealed glandular tissue within the defects. Conclusions: According to our results, SBD is an uncommon anomaly. Examination of MSCT images supports the presence of aberrant submandibular glands within these mandibular defects, suggesting that pressure from submandibular gland tissue had caused the SBD, as generally thought. Both CBCT and MSCT can provide adequate support for the detection of SBDs. The CBCT could be suggested as the most suitable non-invasive diagnostic modality for this bony configuration of the mandible since it provides a lower radiation exposure dose than MSCT.

Lesions were located between the mandibular angle and the third molar, below the inferior dental canal and above the mandibular base. 1 Many other terms have been used to describe this entity, including aberrant or ectopic salivary gland; static, latent or idiopathic defect, cavity or cyst; mandibular salivary gland inclusion; lingual mandibular bone cavity, concavity or depression; and Stafne cyst, defect or cavity. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The posterior lingual variant has an incidence of between 0.10% and 0.48% when diagnosed radiologically. However, some cadaver studies have revealed that the incidence of the lesion may be as high as 6.06%. The age range is quite wide, although there is a clear predilection for males in the fifth or sixth decade. 3,6,9 When the term SBD is found in the literature, it usually refers to the posterior lingual variant. The anterior lingual variant is seven times less frequent than the posterior and is usually located between the incisor and the premolar areas, above the insertion of the mylohyoid muscle. 2,11When reviewing the literature regar...

The present concept favours that all variants have a common origin: a hyperplastic/hypertrophic lobe (or aberrant lobe) of the sublingual, submandibular or parotid salivary gland, exerting pressure upon the cortex of the mandible by the respective gland, leading to focal atrophy or resorption of the bone. The bone depressions take years to develop, appearing radiographically not until the 5th to 6th decades.
