A Case of a Stafne Bone Defect Associated with Sublingual Glands in the Lingual Side of the Mandible

Figure 2

Computed tomography image, sagittal cross section, hard tissue mode. The lingual cortical bone recessed from the lingual to the buccal side is contiguous with the buccal cortical bone at the deepest point of the cavity. There is no connection of the apex of the adjacent #27 with the cavity in the lingual side of the mandible, and a high-density line suggests the presence of bony tissue between the apex of #27 and the cavity in the lingual side of the mandible.
