Özet

Nasopalatin duct cystis the most common non-odontogenic developmental cyst in the oral cavity. NPDC is generally asymptomatic and is noticed on a routine radiographic examination. It usually causes axial deviation in incisors but root resorption is rarely seen. A deformity causing facial asymmetry is seldom noticed as a symptom. The purpose of this report is to present these two unlikely symptoms together in a single case.
