The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical, radiographic and histological characteristics of idiopathic bone cavities from the Oral Pathology archives at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Forty-three cases were retrieved. Age, sex, some radiographic variables and morphological variables measured of the connective tissue, were studied. The results showed the men who developed cavities tended to be younger than women (median 16 years (range 11-48) compared with 18 (12-64)). Radiographically rounded lesions that were single, unilocular, and small were more common in younger patients. While rounded cavities occurred mainly in the anterior region, cavities with interdental scalloping occurred in the posterior area. The median age of the patients with thin connective tissue on the wall of the bony cavity was lower than that of those with a thicker lining. In conclusion, the present study shows that there is a significant relation between age and sex, radiographic and histological variables. These findings may contribute to the diagnosis of idiopathic bone cavities.
本研究的目的是评估米纳斯吉拉斯联邦大学口腔病理学档案中特发性骨腔的临床、影像学和组织学特征。共检索到43例病例。研究了年龄、性别、一些影像学变量以及结缔组织的形态学变量。结果显示，发生骨腔的男性往往比女性更年轻（中位数为16岁（范围11 - 48岁），而女性为18岁（12 - 64岁））。影像学上，圆形、单发、单房且较小的病变在年轻患者中更为常见。圆形骨腔主要出现在前部区域，而伴有牙间扇贝样改变的骨腔出现在后部区域。骨腔壁结缔组织薄的患者的中位年龄低于结缔组织厚的患者。总之，本研究表明年龄与性别、影像学和组织学变量之间存在显著关系。这些发现可能有助于特发性骨腔的诊断。
