    The purpose of this research was to determine the frequency of Stafne bone defects evaluated using digital panoramic radiographs of patients treated at the Multident Los Olivos dental clinic during the 2019-2020 period. Methodology: This was an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective study. The study population consisted of 2521 digital panoramic radiographs. The technique used was observation, and data were collected using a specifically designed data collection form, which included patient identity, presence of the defect, sex, age, diameter, affected side, and location. Results: The frequency of Stafne bone defects was low, with 4 cases identified out of 2521 radiographs analyzed, representing 0.2% of the total. Distribution by sex showed 2 cases (0.2%) in males and 2 cases (0.1%) in females (CI: 95%). The mean diameter of the defects was 9.68 mm. Among the 4 cases, the largest defect (14.2 mm) was observed in a 66-year-old woman, while the smallest (6.9 mm) was in a 29-year-old man. All defects were found on the left side. Conclusion: The frequency of Stafne bone defects evaluated through digital panoramic radiographs was low, with four cases identified.
