Teeth01:15

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...
Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth 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.
Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial 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...

Systematic Assessment of Mammalian Skull Specimens for Dental and Temporomandibular Joint Pathology

Published on: August 22, 2022

Area of Science:

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

Background:

  • Ectopic eruption of teeth, particularly into the nasal cavity, is an uncommon occurrence.
  • Nasal teeth can lead to various complications and diagnostic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a tooth found in the left nasal cavity of a 64-year-old male.
  • To discuss the clinical presentation, radiological features, and potential etiologies.
  • To outline the diagnostic process, associated complications, and management strategies for nasal teeth.

Main Methods:

  • Case report detailing a single patient's presentation.
  • Review of clinical examination findings.
  • Analysis of radiological imaging (e.g., CT scans).
  • Discussion of relevant literature regarding nasal tooth etiology and management.

Main Results:

  • A 64-year-old male presented with a tooth located in the left nasal cavity.
  • Clinical and radiological findings confirmed the presence and location of the ectopic tooth.
  • The case provided insights into the typical presentation and diagnostic imaging of nasal teeth.

Conclusions:

  • Ectopic teeth in the nasal cavity are rare but require thorough investigation.
  • Accurate diagnosis through clinical and radiological assessment is crucial.
  • Management should address the specific complications and etiology of the nasal tooth.
