Ectopic dental eruption into the nasal cavity is a rare phenomenon with an obscure cause. A case of an early erupted intranasal tooth in a patient with a repaired cleft lip, an unrepaired cleft alveolus, and fusion of lower incisor teeth is reported. Only three similar cases of intranasal teeth in cleft patients have been reported in the literature. The unusual features in the present case are highlighted.
异位牙萌出至鼻腔是一种罕见现象,病因不明。本文报告了一例唇裂已修复、牙槽嵴裂未修复且下切牙融合的患者鼻腔内牙齿早萌的病例。文献中仅报道了三例腭裂患者鼻腔内牙齿的类似病例。本文突出了该病例的异常特征。
