Abstract

The supernumerary intranasal teeth are unusual phenomena. They may be asymptomatic or present with different signs and symptoms such as epistaxis, infection, and nasal obstruction. We report a case of a supernumerary intranasal tooth that erupted more than 2 years ago and was treated with surgical removal under local analgesia.

Keywords: intranasal tooth; nasal tooth; supernumerary.
