Lingual mandibular bone defect: A case report and review

Journal Title: Indian Journal of Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2

Abstract

Lingual mandibular bone defect is an asymptomatic radiolucent lesion of the mandible and usually encountered during routine radiographic examinations. It is essential to diagnose this lesion because of its resemblance with other odontogenic pathologies. A 67-year-old female patient presented with a case of lingual mandibular bone defect which was an incidental finding. Panoramic radiograph and cone-beam computed tomography were used for diagnosing the defect.
