Ectopic Nasal

Short summary / likely scenario

  • A 7-year-old male with an ectopically erupting/extruded permanent tooth (FDI 21) that presented in or near the nasal cavity/vestibule and was extracted.

  • Photo shows the nostril/oral vestibule area with the extraction site and adjacent mucosa — looks like soft-tissue involvement of the nose/nasal floor region rather than a simple intraoral socket alone.
