3D CBCT Superimposition Use in Evaluation of Simple Bone Cyst Lesion Resolution-A Case Report

David Dano*, Monica Schmidt, Dhurata Shosho and Anthony Mecham

The simple bone cyst (SBC) is a non-neoplastic osseous lesion mainly diagnosed in young adults, most commonly detected during the second decade of life.

Although there is a clear lack of understanding concerning the etiopathogenesis of the lesion, it is typically present radiographically as a unilocular radiolucent area with a cortical margin of varying thickness and a scalloped border. Adjacent teeth, often canine to the third molar, will be unaffected with their PDLs completely intact. In this case report, a well-documented clinical case was analyzed utilizing radiographic superimposition of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans to demonstrate the initial presentation and subsequent consolidation of the SBC in a 14-year old healthy female patient.
