Histologic Features of External Cervical Resorption Affecting Impacted Maxillary Canines: A Report of 2 Cases.

Reports on the histopathologic features of external cervical resorption (ECR) in unerupted teeth are scarce. This article reports on 2 maxillary impacted canines from different patients that showed ECR lesions and were surgically removed and histologically evaluated. Case 1 showed symptoms associated with oral communication of the dental follicle and pulpal exposure.

An Unusual Case of a Large Periapical Cyst Mimicking a Nasopalatine Duct Cyst.

This article reports on the management of a large median symmetrical lesion of the anterior palate, which was clinically and radiographically diagnosed as an infected nasopalatine duct cyst. However, histopathology demonstrated it to be a radicular cyst of endodontic origin.

Atypically grown large periradicular cyst affecting adjacent teeth and leading to confounding diagnosis of non-endodontic pathology.

This article reports a case of a large osteolytic lesion in the mandible, mostly associated with the apices of the premolars, and suspected as having a non-endodontic origin because the 2 premolars responded positively to the cold sensibility test. The distal border of the lesion reached the mesial root of the first molar, which also had a small lesion in its distal aspect. Cone-beam computed tomography revealed that the large lesion communicated with the small molar lesion.
