case_images: None of the teeth were mobile and the oral mucosa appeared normal and showed no signs of ulceration [Figure 5a]. CBCT scan was performed and showed a homogeneous, radiolucent, well-defined lesion measuring approximately 1 cm inserted into the neck of the impacted maxillary canine [Figure 5b and c].
