Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are among the most common nonodontogenic cysts, typically located in the midline of anterior maxillary hard palate. They usually arise from the embryonic epithelial vestiges of the nasopalatine duct. NPDCs predominantly affect adult males, generally during their fourth decade of life.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, Tishreen University, Latakia, Syria.
Article Synopsis
- A nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) is a common type of cyst in the mouth, but it's rare in kids and often goes unnoticed until checked with X-rays.
- An 11-year-old boy had a big NPDC that made his front teeth loose and caused swelling in his mouth. Doctors found it using imaging and performed surgery to remove it, also stabilizing his teeth for healing.
- This case shows how important it is to recognize NPDC in children early on to avoid problems like bone loss and to help treat it effectively.
Article Synopsis
- In oral surgery, accessing the hard palate for procedures like tooth extractions and cyst treatments can lead to significant post-operative pain and swelling, impacting patient recovery.
- Traditional palatal stents help alleviate discomfort, but new materials with bioactive agents are improving wound healing conditions.
- A case study on a 33-year-old female patient showcased the successful use of a novel zinc-embedded palatal stent, which resulted in reduced pain and swelling, leading to effective healing over follow-up periods.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Aichi Gakuin University, School of Dentistry, 2-11 Suemori-dori, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, 464-8651, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify key numerical values to differentiate nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) from radicular cysts (RCs) using CT or CBCT imaging.
- It analyzed images from 30 NPDC and 33 RC cases to calculate two asymmetry indices that help distinguish between the two types of cysts.
- Results indicated that the lateral asymmetry index was highly effective for differentiation, with a cutoff value of 0.36 suggesting NPDC when below this threshold.
