Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate demographic and radiographic characteristics of Stafne bone cavity (SBC) in detail in a large group of cases. Material and Methods: 6,758 conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) images taken in İstanbul University Faculty of Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Department between 2015-2018 were included in the study. Cases were evaluated and recorded with regard to age, gender, localization of the lesion, location (right-left), dimensions of the lesion (depth, height ,and width), cortical types of the lesion and newly modified cortical types, edge border types of the lesion and margin types. Results: Twenty seven cases (0.39%) of SBC were detected among 6,758 images. The average age of the patients with SBC was 48.56±10.577 (minimum 26, maximum 70). Among 27 patients with SBC, 23 (85.2%) were male and 4 (14.8%) were female. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between cases' the depth, height and width (p=0.000; r>0.7). A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the size of the cases and the cavity types (p=0.000; r>0.4). There was no statistically significant correlation between the mandibular canal relationship and all other parameters (p>0.05). Conclusion: Diagnosis and follow-up of SBC cases are often carried out by CBCT images; therefore, it is crucial to know the radiographic features and current classifications in detail.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Stafne kemik kavitesinin (SKK) demografik ve radyografik özelliklerini geniş bir vaka grubunda ayrıntılı olarak değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: İstanbul Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi Ana Bilim Dalında 2015-2018 yılları arasında çekilen 6.758 konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) görüntüsü çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Olgular yaş, cinsiyet, lezyonun lokalizasyonu, yerleşim yeri (sağ-sol), lezyon boyutları (derinlik, yükseklik ve genişlik), lezyonun kortikal tipleri ve yeni modifiye kortikal tipleri, kenar sınırları ve marjin tipleri açısından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: 6.758 görüntü arasında 27 (%0,39) vakada SKK tespit edildi. SKK'lı hastaların yaş ortalaması 48,56±10,577 (minimum 26, maksimum 70). SKK'lı 27 hastanın 23'ü (%85,2) erkek, 4'ü (%14,8) kadın olarak tespit edildi. Olguların derinlik, yükseklik ve genişlikleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif korelasyon bulundu (p=0,000; r>0,7). Vakaların büyüklükleri ile kavite tipleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif korelasyon bulundu (p=0,000; r>0,4). Mandibular kanal ilişkisi ile diğer tüm parametreler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki yoktu (p>0,05). Sonuç: SKK vakalarının tanı ve takibi sıklıkla KIBT görüntüleri ile yapılmaktadır, bu nedenle radyografik özelliklerin ve güncel sınıflandırmaların detaylı olarak bilinmesi çok önemlidir.
