Abstract
Ectopic eruption of a tooth in the nasal cavity is rarely seen in patients with cleft lip and palate. In this report we present an intranasal permanent incisor tooth of a ten year-old-girl, who previously had two cleft lip and palate repair operations.
Methods. The clinical appearance, the radiological findings and the treatment options are discussed.
Results. The tooth was extracted under general anesthesia and the patient was discharged uneventfully.
Conclusion. Since intranasal teeth have several dental and nasal complications, regular monitoring and timely intervention is required for a cleft lip and palate patient.
Keywords: intranasal tooth, cleft lip and palate.
