Resumo


Mandibular bone defect or Stafne bone defect is usually an incidental finding in imaging examinations due to its lack of symptomatology. It is often observed as a radiolucent lesion with well-defined limits. In this report it is demonstrated a case of mandibular bone defect close to the mandible angle, in a 16-year-old female, that performed cone beam computed tomography examination to verify the proximity of the third inferior molar to the mandibular canal. In this case, it was verified that the defect was continuous to the mandible border, and it had a thick sclerotic margin. No treatment is necessary to mandibular bone defects, but regular follow-ups are strongly recommended.

Keywords: Cone beam computed tomography. Imaging Diagnosis. Oral Pathology. Mandibular bone defect.
