A 53-year-old male was referred to the department of maxillofacial surgery for the extraction of a destructed wisdom tooth. A preoperative orthopantomogram revealed a well delineated ovoid, radiolucent lesion at the left angle of the mandible. For further lesion characterization, a dental CT scan and MRI were performed.

Stafne bone cavity, also known as static bone cavity, is a rare bony defect on the lingual side of the mandible. It rarely shows progressive changes, and requires only follow-up bservation. This article described a case of progressive enlargement of a Stafne bone cavity and analyzed the causes of its progress by reviewing relevant literature.

Lingual mandibular bone depression, also known as the Stafne bone cavity, commonly presents as an asymptomatic unilocular cyst-like radiolucency located below the mandibular canal. Surgical exploration of this lesion is relatively rare in the literature. A 49-year-old male was admitted to the hospital for a space-occupying lesion located in the right mandibular angle region and was performed surgical exploration.

Article Synopsis
- Maternal vitamin A and D levels during pregnancy may influence the bone health of children as they grow, particularly in terms of bone mineral content (BMC) at age nine.
- In a study involving 855 pregnant women, researchers measured vitamin levels in different trimesters and assessed the bone health of their children years later.
- Results showed a significant increase in vitamin deficiencies during pregnancy, and a specific negative link between mid-pregnancy vitamin A levels and spine BMC in boys, but not in girls, with no significant findings related to vitamin D.

Stafne bone defect (SBD) is a rare developmental bone defect characterized by an asymptomatic focal concavity of the cortical bone, typically on the lingual aspect of the mandibular body, which generally contains salivary gland tissue. It can be detected during routine dental examinations and typically appears as an ovoid, well-defined, well-corticated, radiolucent depression in the posterior mandibular region below the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) (in: Neville et al, Oral and maxillofacial pathology, Elsevier, Inc, St. Louis, MO, 2016).

Background: Stafne mandibular bone cavity (SMBC) is an asymptomatic radiolucent lesion observed in the mandible on X-ray images, with well-defined borders. This lesion does not require treatment, and size changes are very rare. The purpose of this article is to summarize the radiological and clinical features of SMBC, aiming to prevent misinterpretation of this benign lesion as other pathologies and aid in differential diagnosis within the field of dental practice.
