Full-mouth radiographs of 1921 patients were examined for the presence of radiopacities that could not be attributed to any known sources of bone formation. A total of 103 patients, or 5.4%, exhibited these foci of idiopathic osteosclerosis. Most lesions were located in the vicinity of the mandibular premolars, and the majority had some connection to the apices of the teeth. No difference in frequency between males and females was detected overall, but a statistically significant preponderance of idiopathic osteosclerosis was found in blacks, with a predilection for black females also noted.
对1921例患者的全口X光片进行了检查,以确定是否存在无法归因于任何已知骨形成来源的不透射线区。共有103例患者(5.4%)出现了这些特发性骨硬化病灶。大多数病变位于下颌前磨牙附近,且大多数与牙根尖有一定联系。总体上未检测到男性和女性在发病频率上的差异,但发现黑人中特发性骨硬化的发生率具有统计学意义上的优势,且还注意到黑人女性更为易感。
