“…The ability to assess an area of interest in 3 dimensions eliminates the superimposition that is inherent in conventional radiographic imaging. Cone-beam technology currently has numerous applications in the dental field such as implant treatment planning (20 -22), surgical assessment of pathosis (23)(24)(25), temporomandibular joint assessment (26,27), orthodontic evaluation of growth and development (28), preoperative/intraoperative/postoperative assessment of craniofacial trauma, craniofacial reconstruction, and oral surgery (5, 11, 29 -31). In addition, CBVT has been used to localize foreign bodies in soft tissues (32), for the evaluation of cleft lip and palate (33), and for the assessment of caries depth in teeth (34,35).…”

“…In addition, CBVT has been used to localize foreign bodies in soft tissues (32), for the evaluation of cleft lip and palate (33), and for the assessment of caries depth in teeth (34,35). Potential endodontic applications of CBVT include diagnosis of endodontic pathosis (13,36,37) and canal morphology (38), evaluation of root fractures and trauma (39), analysis of various types of root resorption (40), assessment of pathosis of non-endodontic origin (23)(24)(25), and presurgical planning (41,42).…”

Lingual mandibular bone defect, also known as Stafne bone cavity, is mostly seen in the posterior portion of the mandible. Cavities in the anterior region are very unusual, with around 50 cases reported in the English literature. They are often asymptomatic and found during routine radiographic examinations. This article describes a case of anterior Stafne bone cavity in a 56-year-old male patient.

“…However Segev et al 12 mentioned that CT should be supported with MRI to identify the content of the cavity. In addition, Smith et al 13 reported that increased ionized radiation exposure and possible contrast allergy are possible disadvantages of CT, and they concluded that MRI is the most useful diagnostic tool for detecting the content and extent of SBD. However, they diagnosed an anterior lingual salivary gland defect with cone beam dental CT, which has been reported as a useful diagnostic tool for maxillofacial hard tissue owing to its lower radiation exposure with higher speed.…”
