Abstract
Atlantoaxial osteoarthritis (AAOA) is a unique clinical syndrome that differs from other degenerative disorders. It is a heterogeneous disease associated with the loss of the integrity of the articular cartilage with changes in the underlying bone and cortical edges. One of the biggest clinical challenges with AAOA is making a diagnosis. In dentistry, given the increasing use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate maxillofacial structures, it is likely that dentists will encounter these lesions on CBCT scans. It is extremely important for dentist to sistematically examine anatomical structures other then teeth during clinical and radiographic evaluation in terms of early diagnosis and to prevent delays in treatment. This article presents the case of AAOA accompanied by a subchondral cysts as a random finding on CBCT.
