Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this present study is to describe a case of supernumerary nasal tooth removed with a modified maxillary vestibular approach with subperiosteal dissection.

Methods

Also, a review of English-language literature of supernumerary nasal teeth from 1959 to 2018 was performed.

Results

This study demonstrated that the modified maxillary approach with subperiosteal intranasal dissection is a useful approach for the exposure and removal of teeth impacted in the floor of the nasal cavity. The advantage of its use versus the other techniques is the lower risk of complications and postoperative morbidity. The use of computed tomography is essential to determinate the position of the tooth and to help in the surgical planning.

Conclusions

The transoral approaches are more natural to the oral and maxillofacial surgeons than the transnasal or endoscopic ones.
