ABSTRACT

Since the first description of the ectopic tooth by Albus in 1754?there have been reported many cases of either aberrant tooth in the nasal cavity and maxillary sinus.

The authors have recently experienced a case of the impacted teeth in the canine fossa of maxilla. 15 years-old female patient visited our department because of tender, palpable mass on the nasolabial area. Radiologic studies showed round well-circumscribed and calcified radiopaque lesion and then diagnosed impacted canine teeth. Surgical removal was performed successfully by Caldwell-Luc’s approach.

Keywords: Impacted tooth; Canine fossa
