What is stafne bone cavity
Heterotropic salivary tissue - push into mandible = indentation
How does starfne bone cavity present?
Unilocular, corticated well defined radiolucency at angle of mandible
Always under ID canal
Example inflammatory non-neoplastic disease?
Sialodenitis - can be chronic or acute

Bacterial
Viral

Bacterial
Post-irradiation
Sjogrens
Example of bacterial sialodenitis?
Acute parotitis
What is acute parotitis?
Ascending infection - travel from mouth into parotid duct then gland
Causes actue swelling and pain
Pus exudes from duct
What cause acute parotitis?
Oral bacteria e.g staph aurus
How does recurrent parotitis vary in children and adults?
Adults - recurrent to dry mouth
Children - recurrent from childhood
