Abstract

Annotation. Ectopia of supercomplete dental rudiments in the nasal cavity is a fairly rare pathology. An analysis of the literature on this issue showed that in most reports of ectopia of the tooth, patients addressed specific complaints and abnormal localization of the tooth led to the development of a certain pathology. This article describes a rare case of finding an supernumerary tooth in the nasal cavity. Some aspects of the diagnosis and removal of such foreign bodies from the nasal cavity in an outpatient setting have been considered. We consider it expedient to consider the described case as a manifestation of dysembriogenesis.

Key words:

foreign body, supernumerary tooth, nasal cavity, dysembriogenesis
