Abstract
We treated 5 cases of abnormal dental erution in the nasal cavity. Two cases involved patients aged 56 and 28 years and the other 3 cases, including a rare case of bilateral eruption, involved children up to 10 years of age. One case involved a normal tooth; the others involved abnormal eruptions of supernumerary teeth. Although simple X-ray, panoral roentgenography or CT scan are all used for diagnosis, panoral roentgenography is most useful to distinguish the relationship of the surrounding normal teeth. All such abnomally placed teeth were extracted from the nostrils under local or general anesthesia.
