An unerupted tooth?--who nose?

UNLABELLED: Foreign bodies may present to the general dental practitioner, either as a cause of complaint or, more commonly, as an incidental finding during routine examination. This article describes an unusual case where a rhinolith perforated the hard palate to appear in the mouth as an erupting tooth.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE: It is useful for the general dental practitioner to be aware of the existence of foreign bodies, their sequelae and management.
