Abstract
Objective Since many decades we are using conventional radiography as it is commonly used worldwide Conventional radiographs lacks many important features which needs to be enhanced in terms of quality of equipment radiographic techniques used to interpret accurately and radiation exposure risk so it is a need of the day to confirm the hidden lesion with accuracy So recent we came across a radiographic incidental finding of lingual mandibular bone defect by using CBCTResults We incidentally found stafnes bone cyst below the IAN canal on left side of the jaw in mandible with the help of CBCTConclusion We concluded according to our observation we observed that CBCT is useful and will have potential value when introduced in routine day to day life examination imaging method in dentistry to confirm the unknown hidden lesions that are most common findingKeywords Cone beam CT CT Inferior alveolar nerve canal Stafnes bone cysts
