Case of the Week: Stafne Defect

Posted on January 12, 2018January 12, 2018 by Dr. Shawneen Gonzalez

This week I have CBCT views of a Stafne defect to show what the defect is – a depression on the lingual aspect of the mandible typically caused by a finger projection of the submandibular salivary gland during development.

Thanks and enjoy!
