KARAKTERISTIK TRAUMATIC BONE CYST PADA MANDIBULA DALAM GAMBARAN RADIOGRAFI

Radiology is a branch of medical science that is used to identify diseases in the body. In dentistry, radiology functions in establishing a diagnosis and determining treatment plans for various abnormalities and pathological conditions in the oromaxillofacial area. A cyst is defined as a pathological cavity filled with fluid and lined by epithelium. A traumatic bone cyst (TBC) is a benign pseudocyst that occurs in bone and is characterized by an empty or fluid-filled bone cavity. Traumatic bone cysts are rare in 0.2% to 0.9% of all cystic lesions of the jaw. The differential diagnosis of traumatic bone cyst includes apical periodontitis, odontogenic keratosis, central giant cell granuloma, ameloblastoma, odontogenic myxoma, central and neurogenic central neoplasm. In identifying the characteristics of a traumatic bone cyst and comparing it with other lesions, radiographic examinations such as panoramic radiography, CBCT, and CT scan can be used. Objective: To determine the characteristics of a traumatic bone cyst in the mandible on a radiograph. Method: Literature Review. The steps are problem identification, collecting information from several sources related to the topic of study, and Conducting a Literature Review using the information synthesis method from the literature/journal which is used as a reference and analysis of the results. Results: In this review of literature, several similarities were found based on their location, most of which were in the body of the mandible, ramus and anterior area of the mandible. Another similarity is that more cases of unilocular lesions are found than multilocular. Another equation states that Traumatic Bone Cyst usually appears as a radiolucent lesion, well-defined, surrounded by irregular or scalloped borders. The difference found was the size of the traumatic bone cyst. Conclusion: Traumatic bone cysts in the mandible when viewed on a radiographic picture occur mostly in the body of the mandible with characteristics that show unilocular lesions. Traumatic bone cysts usually present as radiolucent lesions, well-defined, surrounded by irregular or scalloped borders. Traumatic bone cysts in most cases range in size from 1.5 to 8 cm, with an average of 3.5 cm.
