Intranasal tooth is a result of ectopic tooth eruption. Ectopic tooth eruption may occur in the maxillary sinus, condyle, coronoid process of mandible, orbit, palate, or nasal cavity. Incidence of nasal eruption is 0.1-1.0%. Herein, we report a rare case of an intranasal tooth in a 9-year-old boy. The clinical and radiographic findings of the case along with its possible etiology, management and complications are also discussed. |
