Abstract
OKC is the rare and noteworthy developmental odontogenic cyst which arises from dental lamina. Around 7.8% of all cysts of the jaw are categorized in to this type and grow in an antero-posterior direction in the medullary cavity of the bone without causing bone expansion until & unless when expansion is large. The frequent location is the mandibular posterior body. It is uncommon in the maxilla and only 13% occur in the anterior region. An interesting case of OKC in the maxillary central and lateral incisor region of a 36-year-old male patient is being presented. Such a case can be a diagnostic challenge for the clinician, as it can closely mimic the inflammatory cysts in the anterior region.
