    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Natal teeth, present at birth, occur in about 1 in 3,392 infants, primarily affecting lower incisors. This retrospective study explored potential causes and incidence of these early-emerging teeth.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Neonatal Health
    • Human Genetics

    Background:

    • Natal teeth are teeth present at birth.
    • Their occurrence is relatively rare, necessitating studies on incidence and etiology.
    • Understanding associated conditions can aid in diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of natal teeth.
    • To investigate potential associated conditions and etiological factors in a large infant cohort.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective record review of 50,892 infant births.
    • Data collection on natal teeth presence, tooth type, and associated maternal/infant conditions.
    • Calculation of incidence rates.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • An incidence rate of 1 in 3,392 births was observed.
    • Lower central incisors were most commonly affected.
    • Associated conditions included various genetic syndromes, cleft palate, rickets, and maternal health issues like pernicious anemia and diabetes.

    Conclusions:

    • Natal teeth are infrequent, with lower central incisors being the most common presentation.
    • A range of congenital anomalies and maternal factors may be associated with natal teeth.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the complex etiology.
