Abstract: A rare form of ectopic teeth is the nasal tooth. This is a very rare clinical phenomenon. A clear etiology was not suspected in most of the reported cases. However, many etiologies have been identified, including maxillary osteomyelitis, dental trauma, nasal infections, development of defects such as cleft palate, and genetic factors. It can cause a variety of problems, like nasal obstruction, chronic rhinorrhea, and voice disturbances. Surgical removal of the tooth has been suggested as a treatment to reduce symptoms and prevent further complications.
