Özet
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of osteoma cutis andits location in the maxillofacial region by dental volumetric tomography (DVT). Material andMethods: In this study, DVT images of 332 patients (137 men and 195 women), admitted to ourclinic and have taken dental tomography for various reasons; are reevaluated retrospectively forthe presence of osteoma cutis. Chi-square test was used to assess the relationship between osteomacutis presence and patients’ age and gender. Patients with osteoma cutis were grouped according tolocation of the osteoma cutis. Results: Although numerically more common in women, there wasno statistically significant differences between gender and the presence of osteoma cutis (p>0.05).The 21 patients of 23 patients with osteoma cutis were in the range 21-60 years. Osteoma cutiswas present in the cheek in 12 patients of 23 patients with osteoma cutis in maxillofacial region.Conclusion: DVT is a useful diagnostic tool to show soft tissue calcification seen in the maxillofacial region including osteoma cutis. When osteoma cutis is seen in at the age of one, it may be accompanied by a syndrome. Dental radiologists must be more vigilant against those lesions that canbe detected with dental volumetric tomography, and must inform the patient.
