Abstract:
A 63-year-old Caucasian man presented to his general dental practitioner with a spontaneously exfoliated lower central incisor and hair growing from the socket. Examination revealed a hair-filled sinus from the skin of the median aspect of his chin to the socket of the exfoliated tooth. This was confirmed histopathologically following excision biopsy.
