An Ectopic Maxillary Central Incisor Causing Nasal Obstruction: A Rare Case Report

Surgical removal of impacted teeth in the nasal floor poses a unique challenge due to their close proximity to vital structures. This case report describes the successful surgical removal of an impacted maxillary incisor from the nasal floor using a transoral approach. An 18-year-old male presented with missing right maxillary central incisor. Imaging studies revealed an obliquely impacted maxillary right central incisor crown appears to be placed labially in relation to upper right central incisor region extending beyond the floor of nasal cavity.The surgical procedure involved a transoral approach to access and remove the impacted maxillary incisor from the nasal floor. Intraoperative findings, technique, and postoperative care are detailed in the case report.
