The nasal cavity is a sporadic site for mesiodens, and if it is impacted in the lower nasal floor or localized in the nasal septum, it may cause various nasal symptoms such as nasal obstruction, recurrent rhinitis, and epistaxis. Early diagnosis is made through clinical findings and a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, but a definite treatment plan has not yet been developed. This study aims to present a case of a mesiodens in a 27-year-old male, located in the nasal septum, an unusual and rare site, and its surgical removal using an endoscopic nasal approach with subperiosteal intranasal dissection. The result of the study appears significant because this technique led to fewer postoperative complications, and it appears to be safer and more effective than the traditional palatal or transoral approach. Moreover, the nasal endoscopic approach is more natural to the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeons than the transoral approach.
