Abstract:
Supernumerary teeth occur in a wide variety of sites, including the palate, mandibular condyle, coronoid process, orbit, maxillary antrum, and nasal cavity. Supernumerary teeth manifest in different ways depending on the site. Reported symptoms and signs associated with supernumerary teeth in the nasal cavity (nasal teeth) include facial pain, external nasal deformities, foul-smelling rhinorrhea, recurrent epistaxis, and oronasal fistula. Very rarely, septal perforation has been reported. We present a case in which eruption of a tooth into the nasal cavity was associated with nasal septal perforation. The tooth was extracted endoscopically.

Tooth Anatomy
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.
Cranial Bones: Lateral View
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...
