| Resumo: | Ectopic eruption into the nasal cavity is a rare phenomenon and even rarer among cleft lip and palate patients. A case of an intranasal tooth associated with cacosmia in a 5-year-old patient with cleft lip and palate is reported. Several previous surgeries had been performed to correct the patient’s cleft.
