Evaluating Static Bone Cysts (SBCs) Through Long-Term Volumetric Analysis Using CBCT: A Study with 6-Month Follow-Up.

Background: Salivary gland bone defects are static lesions which are rare entities, generally asymptomatic and found in routine imaging exams. However, in atypical cases or when misdiagnosed, surgical intervention is carried out. Purpose: a) The study is intended to investigate the frequency of SBC's and to describe the radiological characteristics of its subtypes; b) To evaluate the efficacy of volumetric analysis tool in CBCT and; c) To describe the confirmative role of CBCT in the diagnosis of SBC's without the need for surgical intervention.
