Abstract
The paper reports on research into a nasal tooth sample belonging to a 12-years-old child excavated from the Kayalıpınar archaeological site in Sivas province, Turkey. The individuals of Kayalıpınar were dated between the Hellenistic-Early Byzantine periods. In the anthropological analysis of the child, a supernumerary tooth defined as inverted mesiodens on the maxilla was encountered. The tooth had an amorphous structure, the tooth root was very short and the tooth crown extended into the nasal cavity. The latest feature proves that it is a supernumerary nasal tooth. This evaluation is in parallel with similar studies.
