Nasal teeth

Abstract

AbstractEctopic and supernumerary teeth occur in a wide variety of sites. Those that have been reportedinclude the mandibular condyle, coronoid process, orbit, palate, nasal cavity and the maxillaryantrum. Eruption of teeth into these sites is rare, and easily overlooked. We present two casesin which eruption of teeth into the nose and paranasal sinuses was associated with significant morbidity and show how this was relieved by appropriate surgery.
