“…Previous case reports of dentigerous cysts were associated with deciduous (2), and supernumerary teeth (15). Baykal et al (16) reported that the possible etiologic factor was a dentigerous cyst in only one of 14 cases. In the present case, the etiologic factor was also a dentigerous cyst.…”

“…Therefore, panoramic radiographs are preferred over CT. Lateral cephalometric radiographs may also be helpful for localization in unilateral cases. In some cases, Water's view is inadequate to diagnose ectopic maxillary teeth (16). Although, the structure of the tooth can be clearly detected on panoramic radiographs, they are inadequate to localize ectopic maxillary teeth because of their inherently lesssharp image, and ghost image (19).…”

A dentigerous cyst containing an ectopic canine tooth below the floor of the maxillary sinus: a case report

Ectopic eruption into the dental environment is common, whereas eruption into other sites is rare. Diverse anatomical locations such as the mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, maxillary sinuses and nasal cavity can infrequently be the site of ectopic tooth eruption. One of the nondental sites for ectopic eruption is the maxillary sinus. Here, we present a case of dentigerous cyst with an ectopic maxillary canine tooth located below the floor of the right maxillary sinus in a 37-year-old man. (J. Oral Sci. 49, [249][250][251][252] 2007)

“…17,18 Plain film imaging may be adequate for localizing the ectopic tooth (as in this case) but where inadequate, computed tomography is the modality of choice to confirm the diagnosis and to avoid unnecessary medical treatment. 31,32 The differential diagnosis of nasal teeth includes radiopaque foreign body, rhinolith, inflammatory lesions due to syphilis, tuberculosis or fungal infection with calcification, benign tumors including hemangioma, osteoma, calcified polyps, enchondroma, dermoid cyst and malignant tumors, such as chondrosarcoma and osteosarcoma. 10 When an extra tooth is in the nasal cavity, the procedure is usually a minor operation.…”

An intranasal tooth (INT) is an ectopic tooth erupting into the nasal cavity. It is a rare clinical entity. Ectopic and supernumerary teeth may be present in many regions of maxillofacial skeleton. Ectopic teeth may be supernumerary, deciduous or permanent. The clinical manifestations of intranasal tooth are quite variable and they may cause a variety of symptoms and complications. Their clinical and radiographic presentations are classical, posing little challenge to the diagnostician. The identification of such teeth can be important since they have potential to cause considerable morbidity. Here, we describe a case of intranasal tooth along with possible etiopathogenesis, clinical and radiographic features, differential diagnosis, potential complications and treatment modalities.

“…3 Literatürde, dişle-rin dental ark dışında, maksiller sinüs, mandibular kondil ve koronoid çıkıntı, orbita, nazal kavite gibi pek çok bölgede tespit edildiği rapor edilmiştir. [4][5][6] Maksiller sinüs içerisine olan erüpsiyonun sebebi tam olarak bilinemezken, yarık damak ve dudak gibi gelişimsel bozukluklar, kist ve tümör nedeniyle dişlerin deplasmanı, enfeksiyon, genetik faktörler, dişi saran kemiğin dens yapısı gibi faktörler sorumlu tutulmuştur. 4,5,7 Maksiller sinüs içerisindeki ektopik dişlerin varlığı çoğu olguda asemptomatiktir ve genellikle rutin klinik ve radyografik muayene sırasında tespit edilmektedir.…”

“…4,5,7 Maksiller sinüs içerisindeki ektopik dişlerin varlığı çoğu olguda asemptomatiktir ve genellikle rutin klinik ve radyografik muayene sırasında tespit edilmektedir. 5 Bunun haricinde nadiren de olsa maksiller sinüste kronik bir inflamasyonla birlikte görülebilmektedir. 8 Bu olgu sunumunun amacı, maksiller sinüs içerisinde ektopik diş tespit edilen üç hastanın klinik ve radyografik özelliklerini literatür ışığında tartışmaktır.…”
