Supernumerary intranasal floating tooth: clinical and literature review

Supernumerary intranasal teeth are rare, and few cases of supernumerary intranasal floating teeth have been reported in the English literature. Here, we report a case of a supernumerary intranasal floating tooth in a middle childhood boy. CT revealed a floating tooth-like structure on the right nasal floor with no bone contact. We made a clinical diagnosis of a supernumerary intranasal floating tooth, which was endoscopically removed via an intranasal approach. CT was used to confirm the position of the tooth and select the surgical approach for its removal. Finally, we meticulously conducted a literature review of previous cases of supernumerary intranasal teeth, hoping to provide guidance to clinicians for the correct diagnosis and choice of treatment modality.
