Abstract

Stafne's bone defects (SBD) are usually asymptomatic and appears as a radiolucent lingual/buccal bone lesions of the lower jaw and are frequently caused by soft tissue inclusion. SBDs bone defects are considered to be an anatomic condition and most often seen in the posterior part the mandible below the mandibular canal. This is a case of anterior mandibular SBD, which was accidently detected in a patient with mandibular fracture.
