Abstrakt: The traumatic bone cyst (TBC) is an asymptomatic intraosseous lesion characterized by cavity without epithelial lining, discovered by routine radiographic findings. The aim of this paper is report 2 clinical cases of TBC. Case 1: A 17-year-old male patient with radiographic examination showing a radiotransparent image in the mandibular body, asymptomatic on physical examination. On tomographic examination, a hypodense region was observed in the right mandibular body. The patient underwent total curettage of the lesion. Bone defect, absence of capsule, and slight bleeding were observed, confirming the diagnostic hypothesis of TBC. Case 2: A 15-year-old female patient with routine radiographic examination showing a similar image, asymptomatic on physical examination. On tomographic examination, a hypodense region was noted in the right mandibular body. The patient underwent total curettage of the lesion, with similar characteristics. New bone formation was observed on radiographic monitoring. It is concluded that clinical-radiographic diagnosis of intraosseous lesions is essential for therapeutic management.
