INTRODUCTION: A case report showing the removal of a supernumerary tooth from the nasal cavity by means of an endoscopic approach is presented.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 9-year-old healthy child presented to our department because of the right central incisor which appeared clinically rotated. The observation of orthopantomography revealed the presence of a supernumerary tooth in the anterior maxilla with the crown positioned towards the nasal floor. The maxillary CT demonstrated a quite close relationship of the tooth with the nasal cavity, so a nasal approach was planned.
RESULTS: Under general anesthesia the supernumerary tooth was removed by means of an endoscopic approach from a nostril. During the extraction the adjacent structures were unharmed. The postoperative course was uneventful.
CONCLUSIONS: This case report suggests that in case of supernumerary teeth positioned close to the nasal cavity, trans-nasal endoscopy may represent a valid alternative to more demolishing traditional surgery.
