This paper reports a case of an inverted tooth in which the tooth crown erupted in the nasal cavity. The patient was a 22-year-old male with a chief complaint of a slightly strange feeling in the nasal cavity. Although the definite diagnosis was obtained by endoscopy, cone beam CT was useful for visualizing the eruption position and morphology of the inverted tooth, and its relationship with the surrounding tissue. Since the position of the inverted tooth was comparatively posteriorly located, it was extracted from the intraoral cavity under general anesthesia; as a result, we could get a good observation without any complication.
