Özet
Eruption of tooth into place other than tooth-bearing region is defined as ectopic eruption. Although ectopic eruption of tooth is
rare, there have been cases in the maxillary sinus, mandibular condyle, nasal cavity, chin, palate, and orbital floor. Due to ectopic
teeth’s rarity and lack of consensus for ıts treatment, incidence was entitled to be added to literature and discussed. It was reported
that odontogenic tumors and cysts can develop around the ectopic tooth. Thus, ectopic teeth can be followed up regularly in case
of no signs and symptoms. If the patient has unusual orofacial pain, undiagnosed nasal discharge, maxillary sinusitis, preauricular
pain, preauricular fistula, trismus, and lip paresthesia, the patient should be evaluated in terms of ectopic tooth. Whether the
patient has signs and symptoms related to ectopic tooth, early intervention for the removal of ectopic tooth along with
accompanying lesion is the treatment of choice. Specialists choose intervention way based on their experience. When selecting
the intervention, minimally invasive and less morbid way should be preferred. Intraoral approach rather than extraorally
should be the first choice to prevent unesthetic scar and damage to facial nerve.
