Nasopalatine Cyst causing resorption of Teeth: A Case Report

Abstract

Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDC) are the most frequently encountered developmental, epithelial, non-odontogenic cysts of the maxilla. It is commonly asymptomatic and often incidentally discovered on clinical and radiographic examination. We report a case of NPDC with varied clinical findings but with pathognomonic radiographic findings and rare resorption of root. A differential diagnosis of swelling in anterior maxilla has also been presented along with a review.
