“…Although, the recurrence rate is low ranging from 0-11%, still follow up of the patient should be taken in consideration. 12 The present case signifies the importance of correct diagnosis of such lesions which can be easily misinterpreted as periapical lesion leading to the inadvertent endodontic procedure in vital teeth.…”

For the success of endodontic treatment outcome, diagnosis plays a very important role. Endodontic diagnosis is similar to a jigsaw puzzle which cannot be made from a single isolated piece of information. Radiography plays a vital role in diagnosing dental diseases. Overcoming the major disadvantage of two dimensional imaging of superimposing the dento-alveolar structures, 3 dimensional images by Cone Beam Computed Tomography is of great help. It is very common that when radiographs show a superimposition of the incisive foramen over the apex of maxillary central incisors, mimicking apical periodontitis, unnecessary endodontic treatment or retreatment may be prescribed. Diseases of non endodontic origin that affect the tooth apex, such as Nasopalatine duct cyst, should be included in the differential diagnosis. In the present case report the role of CBCT in diagnosis is being discussed.

“…Furthermore, nasopalatine duct cysts form on the midline of the maxilla, which in the case of Blessed Egidio did not show macroscopically and radiographically visible morphological changes. Macroscopically, nasopalatine duct cysts generally develop between the two upper central incisors symmetrically with respect to the palatine suture (Oliveira et al, 2019). In our case, the cysts are asymmetrical, occupying mainly the right side of the palate.…”

“…In our case, the cysts are asymmetrical, occupying mainly the right side of the palate. Radiographically, it appears as a well‐defined unilocular radiolucent area with a round, oval, or heart‐shaped image, exclusively in the midline of the anterior bony palate (Carini et al, 2012; Oliveira et al, 2019). The cysts develop within the nasopalatine duct (Slootweg, 2009).…”

Maxillary abnormality in the medieval Blessed friar Egidio from Laurenzana (Basilicata, southern Italy)

Blessed Egidio was a revered Catholic friar who lived in Basilicata (southern Italy) between the 15th and 16th centuries A.D. His natural mummy is preserved in the Mother Church of Laurenzana, the village where he lived. During the recent restoration and conservation of the relic, palaeopathological analysis was carried out. This revealed osteolytic lesions that affected the maxillary bones, as two injuries that were different in morphology and size that distinctly afflicted the right and left maxillae. The macroscopic and radiographic appearance of the lesion on the right maxilla and its proximity to the right premolar tooth that showed periapical granuloma suggest a diagnosis of an inflammatory odontogenic cyst (radicular cyst). The second lesion, of the left maxilla, was non‐specific and might have been the consequence of an inflammatory process. Odontogenic cysts are common in modern human populations but have been poorly described to date in ancient populations. The case of Blessed Egidio represents a new and rare case diagnosed in the field of palaeopathology.

“…NPDC is commonly asymptomatic, but sometimes can produce swelling [1,2]. It comprises about 1.7-11.9% of all oral and maxillofacial region cysts and it is most common non-odontogenic cysts of the oral cavity [3,4]. NPDC is almost three times more common in males as compared to females [5].…”

Nasopalatine duct cyst is the most common developmental non-odontogenic cysts seen in the midline region of anterior maxilla. An epithelial remnant of the nasopalatine ducts remain in the incisive canal is the most common etiology. Nasopalatine duct cysts are generally asymptomatic and infrequently produce a swelling and associated pain in the anterior palate if secondarily infected. On radiograph it presents with a welldefined round, oval or heart shaped radiolucency. Histopathologically it shows non-keratinized epithelium typically with neurovascular bundles in the connective tissue capsule. Surgical enucleation is the treatment of choice. In the present case report clinical features, diagnosis and management of nasopalatine duct cyst in a 23-year-old male in the anterior maxillary palatal region is discussed.
