91/293 Heister in 1743 wrote a dissertation on extraoral teeth. The following is a recent quotation:-- "In the Norsk Magazin fur Laegevidenskaben, January, 1895, it is reported that Dr.Dave, at a meeting of the Medical Society in Christiania, showed a tooth removed from the nose of a woman aged fifty-three. The patient had consulted him for ear-trouble, and the tooth was found accidentally during the routine examination. It was easily removed, having been situated in a small depression at the junction of the floor and external wall of the nasal cavity, 22 mm. This patient had all her teeth; they were placed somewhat far from each other. |
