“…The eight identified studies are listed in Table 1 [ 1 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. The main text of two of them were not written in English, one of which was translated into English successfully by Google Docs [ 11 ], whereas the other one had extractable data from the abstract written in English [ 9 ].…”

(1) Background: Medial sigmoid depression (MSD) of the mandibular ramus is an anatomical variation that resembles non-odontogenic cystic lesion. (2) Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to survey the literature to identify the relevant journal publications, reveal their scientific impact in terms of citations and compare the reported prevalence of MSD. (3) Materials and methods: PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science were queried to identify relevant publications. The search string was: “medial depression of mandibular ramus” OR “medial depression of the mandibular ramus” OR “medial depression of the mandibular rami” OR “medial depression of mandibular rami” OR “medial sigmoid depression”. (4) Results: Eight studies were identified. Dry mandibles and patient dental panoramic radiographs were evaluated in four and seven of the eight studies, respectively. The prevalence of MSD varied from 20.2% to 82.0%. In male and female patients, the prevalence was 18.3–76.0% and 22.0–64.0%, respectively. MSD tended to occur bilaterally and most prevalent in patients with Angle’s Class II occlusion. The semilunar and triangular shapes were more common than teardrop and circular shapes. The most cited study had 12 citations. (5) Conclusions: MSD was a seldom investigated and cited anatomical variation that was not uncommon. Its recognition should be further promoted.

“…MDMR is also reported to be associated with different skeletal traits. Dalili and Mohtavipour [7] reported a higher prevalence of MDMR in patients with malocclusion while Sudhakar et al [19] reported a higher prevalence of MDMR in Angle's class II malocclusions (9.3%) than in Angle's class III (7.6%). Some studies also report that MDMR is more prevalent in patients with dentoskeletal deformities than in patients with an Angle's class I occlusion [4].…”

“…Using different investigation methods, studies report different prevalence rates of MDMR in different sample groups. Sudhakar et al [19] report a higher prevalence of MDMR in patients with dentoskeletal deformities detected on panoramic radiographs.…”
