“…This literature reported an ectopic tooth attached to the inferior turbinate in two adult female skulls [3]. In most of the reported cases, no etiological explanation has been suggested or found, but the literature mentions some theories, such as displacement of tooth bud due to mid-facial trauma [4], maxilla osteomyelitis [5], and developmental disturbances, such as cleft palate [1,2]. Idiopathic etiology has also been described as an etiologic factor for ectopic teeth [3].…”

“…The aetiology of nasal teeth is not completely understood. However, theories proposed include teeth displaced by trauma [36,38,39], osteomyelitis of the maxilla [15], genetic factors, obstruction to eruption secondary to crowding of the dentition, retained primary teeth or exceptionally dense bone [40]. Sofat and Singh [17] and Endicott [31] proposed developmental disturbances such as cleft palate to be the cause for nasal tooth or teeth.…”

Ectopic position of teeth is not rare. The presence of teeth have been reported in ovaries, testes, anterior mediastinum, and pre-sacral regions. In the maxillofacial region, teeth have been found in maxillary sinus, mandibular condyle, coronoid process, chin, nose, and even orbit. Approximately 50 cases of a tooth in the nasal cavity have been reported in literature. However, an intranasal tooth in cases of cleft lip and palate is comparatively rare. Intranasal teeth can cause problems such as nasal obstruction, chronic rhinorrhea and speech problems. Sometimes however, they are totally symptom-free. We present here an interesting case of an intranasal tooth in a four year-old-boy, who was operated on for cleft lip and alveolus at 6 months of age. The intranasal tooth did not cause any symptoms. The tooth was extracted under general anaesthesia when it was found to be very loosely attached to the nasal mucosa. The case is discussed in the light of relevant literature on intranasal teeth in cases of cleft lip and palate.

“…Conversely, if an exposed inverted supernumerary tooth in the nasal cavity is left untreated, there is a risk of rhinolith formation or inflammatory lesions due to bacterial infection of the surrounding mucosa. Therefore, proactive surgical extraction is generally preferred 1,2) . In the present patient, the tooth was exposed within the nasal cavity and extraction was performed due to the risk of potential infection.…”

The eruption of a tooth into the nasal cavity is a rare clinical entity. We report a case of an inverted supernumerary tooth in the nasal cavity. A 2-year-old boy was referred to our institution after examination at a local otorhinolaryngology department for otitis media. Radiological examination revealed a tooth-like structure in the right nasal cavity. The tooth was protruding from the floor of the nasal cavity along with granulation tissue. The diagnosis was an inverted tooth in the right nasal cavity. Forceps extraction was performed under general anesthesia.
