Fig. 1. Intraoperative images from the nasal floor approach. A. A marking suture was placed on the base of the frenulum to identify the midline and incision line (dotted line). B. After mucoperiosteal flap elevation, the nasal floor was exposed. C. Using osteotomy on the nasal floor, the impacted mesiodens was detected (arrow). D. The mesiodens was extracted in the common manner. E. After extraction, minimized osteotomy was verified without exposure of the adjacent root or nasopalatine nerve. F. Primary closure.
