Fig. 11

Panoramic CBCT image with 20-mm slice thickness (a) shows a multilocular OKC. On this reconstruction, septa seem to divide the lesion into multiple loculations. Cross-sectional CBCT images reconstructed as 0.5-mm-thick sections (b) demonstrate that some of these septa are complete (arrowheads) and some are incomplete (wavy arrows). Note that certain small loculations shown by the panoramic CBCT image (black asterisk, white and black stars) actually correspond to a single large loculation with scalloped borders. Compression and lingual displacement of the mandibular canal, deep to the root of the third molar (48), is also shown (opposing arrows). Curved arrow, mandibular foramen; arrows, mandibular canal
