The nasopalatine duct cyst is the most common non-odontogenic developmental cysts. Nasopalatine duct cyst also termed as incisive canal cyst, arises from embryologic remnants of nasopalatine duct. Most of these cysts develop in the midline of anterior maxilla near the incisive foramen. This article reports a case and review of literature with respect to epidemiology, etiology, clinical presentation, radiographic and pathological findings, treatment and recurrence rates.

The results of the present study demonstrated that ART proved to be effective in reducing the prevalence of HIV-related oral lesions.

The MDM2 overexpression noticed in plexiform ameloblastoma, follicular ameloblastoma with granular cell changes and acanthomatous ameloblastoma when compared to simple unicystic and desmoplastic ameloblastoma suggest a relatively enhanced proliferative phenotype of these solid multicystic variants of ameloblastomas. On overall comparison, higher expression was noted in ameloblastomas when compared to AOT. This indicates differences in the aggressive nature between these two groups of odontogenic tumors favoring the perception of a greater aggressive nature of ameloblastomas.
