One Case of an Inverted Tooth in the Nasal Cavity
Yoshio Masaki
(Masaki Jibika Clinic)
A case of inverted tooth, which was removed by endonasal surgery is reported. The patient was a 17-year-old-boy who had no symptoms. A white mass was incidentally detected in his right nasal cavity, and the tooth was removed easily by an endoscopic endonasal approach. An endoscopic approach is useful for removing an inverted tooth because it is less invasive to the patient than the conventional approach.
Key words :inverted tooth, nasal cavity, endoscopic approach, foreign body
