Retrospective Evaluation of Stafne Bone Cavities with Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate demographic and radiographic characteristics Stafne bone cavity (SBC) in detail a large group cases. Material Methods: 6,758 conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) images taken İstanbul University Faculty Dentistry, Oral Maxillofacial Radiology Department between 2015-2018 were included the study. Cases evaluated recorded with regard age, gender, localization lesion, location (right-left), dimensions lesion (depth, height ,and width), cortical types newly modified types, edge border margin types. Results: Twenty seven cases (0.39%) SBC detected among images. average age patients was 48.56±10.577 (minimum 26, maximum 70). Among 27 SBC, 23 (85.2%) male 4 (14.8%) female. A statistically significant positive correlation found cases' depth, width (p=0.000; r>0.7). size r>0.4). There no mandibular canal relationship all other parameters (p>0.05). Conclusion: Diagnosis follow-up are often carried out by CBCT images; therefore, it crucial know features current classifications detail.
