Summary
Intranasal teeth, a rare condition, can cause significant nasal issues. Endoscopic removal offers a promising new treatment, potentially reducing complications compared to traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Dental Medicine
- Medical Case Reports
Background:
- Intranasal teeth are an uncommon occurrence requiring further investigation.
- Diagnosis and treatment of intranasal teeth necessitate improved methods due to potential morbidity.
Observation:
- Presents two case reports of intranasal teeth.
- Reviews existing literature on intranasal tooth removal techniques.
Findings:
- Multiple surgical approaches for intranasal tooth extraction exist.
- Endoscopic removal is introduced as a novel technique for intranasal teeth.
Implications:
- Endoscopic removal may decrease comorbidity risks associated with conventional methods.
- Highlights the need for advanced diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for intranasal teeth.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

01:26Tonsillitis II: Management
This lesson will focus on the different treatment options for managing tonsillitis, which typically depend on the cause and severity.
01:30Epistaxis
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

01:29Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway
Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.
