Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Idiopathic osteosclerosis (IO) is an area of enlarged bone production in the jaw that usually appears radiopaque and round, elliptical, or irregular in shape. Condensing osteitis (CO) is a focalized osseous reaction leading to periapical sclerotic bone growth.
UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, localization, shape, and dental relationship of IO and CO in a group of Lebanese patients and to correlate these findings to age and gender.
UNASSIGNED: 520 digital panoramic radiographs of patients (215 men and 305 women) ranging in age from 18 to 77 (mean age 40.89 years) who visited the Faculty of Dental Medicine, Lebanese University, for dental treatment were included in this study and assessed for IO and CO. The prevalence of the two lesions according to gender and age, as well as their localization, and dental relationship, were recorded and saved in an Excel sheet.
UNASSIGNED: Among the 520 radiographs, 47 (9%) showed IO, and 30 (5.8%) showed CO. Both lesions are more frequent among females in their third decade and are essentially found in the mandible, mainly in relation to the root apices.
UNASSIGNED: Within the limits of this study, we concluded that in our sample of the Lebanese population, the prevalence of IO and CO is low and supports the theory that IO can be defined as developmental variations of normal bony architecture unrelated to a local stimulant, and CO could be considered reactive bone formations related to pulpitis, deep restoration, or caries.

摘要：
■特发性骨硬化（IO）是颌骨中骨骼生成增大的区域，通常表现为不透射线和圆形，椭圆,或者形状不规则。凝聚性骨炎（CO）是导致根尖周围硬化骨生长的局灶性骨反应。
■这项研究的目的是调查患病率，本地化,形状,以及一组黎巴嫩患者中IO和CO的牙齿关系，并将这些发现与年龄和性别相关联。
■520位年龄从18岁到77岁（平均年龄40.89岁）的患者（215名男性和305名女性）的数字全景射线照片，黎巴嫩大学,牙科治疗纳入本研究，并评估IO和CO。两种病变的患病率按性别和年龄,以及他们的本地化，和牙齿关系，被记录并保存在Excel工作表中。
■在520张射线照片中，47（9%）显示IO，和30（5.8％）显示CO。这两种病变在女性的第三个十年中更为常见，并且基本上在下颌骨中发现，主要与根尖有关。
■在本研究的范围内，我们得出的结论是，在我们的黎巴嫩人口样本中，IO和CO的患病率较低，并且支持将IO定义为与局部兴奋剂无关的正常骨结构的发育变化的理论。和CO可以被认为是与牙髓炎有关的反应性骨形成，深层修复，或龋齿。
