Intranasal Ectopic Tooth in Adult and Pediatric Patients: A Report of Two Cases

Abstract EN

The aim of this study was to report two rare cases of ectopic tooth into the nasal cavity.

The first case reports a 32-year-old female patient with the main complaint of having a tooth inside her nose.

According to her, this condition causes pain and sporadic nosebleed.

The patient had a facial trauma when she was 6 years old.

The second case refers to an 8-year-old girl with left incomplete unilateral cleft lip and palate.

The main complaint was left-sided nasal obstruction by a white hard mass.

The treatment for both cases was surgical removal of the ectopic erupted tooth under general anesthesia.

In conclusion, we can state that the surgical removal of intranasal tooth is a safe procedure and improves patient’s quality of life.
