Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiologic features of intraosseous pathologic lesions with radiolucent and cortical borders in the unilateral posterior mandible using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and Method: In the study, the largest size, cortical expansion, and relationship of the lesion to the teeth and mandibular canal were evaluated in radiolucent lesions with cortical borders in the posterior mandible on CBCT images of 36 patients. Mandibular cortical bone thickness was compared between the lesion side and the intact side. Mann Whitney U tests were used to compare the data (p0.05). Conclusion: Most of the corticated border mandibular posterior pathologic lesions were found to be associated with teeth and expansion occurred. Care should be taken before surgical procedures as these lesions may be associated with the mandibular canal. There was no change in mandibular cortical thickness on the lesion side.
