In 1942 Stafne reported 35 asymptomatic, radiolucent cavities that were unilaterally located in the posterior region of the mandible between the mandibular angle and the third molar, and below the mandibular canal. The term Stafne bone cavity (SBC) is now used for such asymptomatic lingual bone depressions of the lower jaw. Since then there have been many reports of SBCs but very fews tudies have used cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for their diagnosis. The aim of this paper is to describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of two cases of SBCs and the importance of limited CBCT in confirming the diagnosis.

“…An idiopathic bone cavity is not very common, and in OIKARINEN's [2] radiographic survey the incidence of the disorder was approximately 1 : 1000. However, other authors have reported a much higher incidence, 1 : 276 [3] or 1 : 207 [4].…”

“…An extremely rare variant is located to the lingual or buccal aspects of the ascending mandibular ramus (Philipsen et al ., 2002). Stafne's defect affects predominantly adults, between the fifth and sixth decades of life, and is more common in men than in women (Oikarinen & Julku, 1974; Correll et al ., 1980; Philipsen et al ., 2002; Quesada‐Gómez et al ., 2006; Dolanmaz et al ., 2009). Sometimes, the anomaly is bilateral (Shafer et al ., 1983; Queiroz et al ., 2004; Soames & Southam, 2005).…”

“…Since 1942, Stafne's defects have often been reported in clinical literature (Karmiol & Walsh, 1968; Correll et al ., 1980; Sandy & Williams, 1981; Hayashi et al ., 1984; Apruzzese & Longoni, 1999; Katz et al ., 2001; de Courten et al ., 2002; Philipsen et al ., 2002; Drage et al ., 2003; Quesada‐Gómez et al ., 2006; Araújo et al ., 2009; Dolanmaz et al ., 2009), but much fewer papers have reported on these defects in archaeological contexts (Harvey & Noble, 1968; Finnegan & Marcsik, 1980; Graham, 1980; Mann, 1990; Mann & Tsaknis, 1991; Mann & Shields, 1992; Shields, 2000; Lukacs & Rodríguez Martín, 2002; Masnicová & Beňuš, 2003; Jordana et al ., 2007; Vodanović et al ., 2009).…”

Lingual mandibular cortical defects (Stafne's defects) are relatively uncommon in recent as well as past populations, but while this condition is often discussed in clinical reports, they are rarely the subject of anthropological research. In this paper, the prevalence of Stafne's bone defects in skeletal samples from Late Neolithic, Late Roman, Medieval and Modern Portugal is investigated (N ¼ 704 complete mandibles and 111 incomplete mandibles). The aims of this paper are threefold: (1) to present and analyse for the first time in Portuguese osteological record prevalence data on Stafne's bone defect, (2) to analyse variations in defect prevalence between skeletal samples from a wide temporal array and (3) to verify if more tenuous lesions in which resorption of the lingual cortex was not yet extensive had the classic radiographic appearance described by Stafne in order to validate the hypothesis that lesions are present clinically in many more cases than published figures indicate. In all cases, differential diagnosis against other conditions that mimic Stafne's defects, namely odontogenic lesions, cysts and neoplasms, was done. In all samples, the evidence of Stafne's defect occurred in 12 individuals (1.7%), and males (2.84%) were more frequently affected than females (0.61%). When incomplete mandibles were considered, only one left fragment (0.90%) exhibited Stafne's defect. Accurate identification of all examples of Stafne's bone defects in antiquity is thought to represent an important contribution to elucidate which factors may be responsible for this trait's cultural, ecological, temporal and geographical patterning.
