Zusammenfassung: | The presence of supernumerary tooth (SNT) in the nasal cavity is a rare condition with limited literature data. We report two cases with a history of nasal obstruction and difficulty breathing. In both cases, clinical and radiological examination confirmed intranasal SNT. Extractions were executed in general anesthesia using Rochester-Pean instruments transnasally. In addition, a literature review of intranasal SNT was performed. The database search retrieved a total number of 50 cases in time period from 1970. to 2020. Mean age of patients was 22.5 years. Most common symptoms were unilateral obstruction of breathing and headache. Surgical extraction of intranasal SNT is recommended to eliminate the symptoms. Prekobrojni zub u nosnoj supljini rijetko je stanje o kojemu postoje ograniceni literaturni podatci. U ovom radu predstavljenasu dvaslucajasasimptomima nazalne opstrukcije i otezanogdisanja. U oba slucaja klinicka i radioloska pretraga potvrdila je da postoji intranazalni prekobrojni zub. Ekstrakcije su obavljene transnazalno u opcoj anesteziji Rochester-Peanovim instrumentima. Uz to, pregledana je literatura o prekobrojnim intranazalnim zubima. Pretragom baze podataka pronadeno je ukupno 50slucajeva urazdobljuod 1970. do 2020. godine. Prosjecnadob pacijenata bila je 22,5 godine. Najcesci simptomi bili su jednostrana opstrukcija disanja i glavobolja, a za njihovo uklanjanje preporuceno je kirursko vadenje prekobrojnoga intranazalnogzuba. |
