Liu X, Xu W, Wang X. Static bone cavity of the mandible: A case report. J Case Rep Images Dent 2022;8:100040Z07XL2022.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Stafne bone cavity is a rare structural abnormality. It is often accidentally discovered during radiographic examination as clinical symptoms are usually absent.
Case Report: We report a case of mandibular Stafne bone cavity in a 38-year-old man with typical imaging features. It manifests on imaging as a defect or depression on the lingual side of the mandible; it appears round or oval with a clear boundary and is located below the mandibular canal and above the lower border of the mandible. After two years of follow-up, no changes were found in the bone cavity.
Conclusion: Static bone cavity (SBC) of the mandible belongs to developmental malformation, and there will be no progressive progress of the bone cavity. Its characteristic imaging manifestations are conducive to the diagnosis of the disease. This case can enhance our understanding of the SBC of the mandible and help dentists better diagnose this lesion and avoid over treatment.
