Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Ectopic and supernumerary teeth are dental anomalies that can occur in various extragnathic and intragnathic locations.
  • While documented in sites like the mandibular condyle and orbit, eruption into the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • This report details two distinct cases of patients experiencing significant morbidity due to tooth eruption within the nasal passages and paranasal sinuses.
  • The ectopic teeth in these cases presented as an unusual cause of sinonasal pathology.

Findings:

  • Surgical management was successfully employed to address the complications arising from ectopic teeth in the sinonasal region.
  • The removal of the ectopic teeth led to the resolution of patient morbidity.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering ectopic dental tissue in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal masses and symptoms.
  • Underscores the efficacy of surgical intervention for managing rare but debilitating ectopic tooth presentations in the head and neck.
