Natal teeth, present at birth, have an unclear cause but are typically normal in size and shape. This case report details management of natal teeth in an infant, showing incomplete root formation.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Oral Pathology

Background:

  • Natal teeth are defined as teeth present at birth, with an obscure etiology.
  • Their clinical presentation can range from normal to immature, with potential enamel hypoplasia and dentin alterations.
  • Natal teeth exhibit variable incidence, with a noted predisposition in the female sex.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 9-day-old female infant with two partially erupted natal teeth.
  • Radiographic examination revealed minimal radio-opacity and absent radicular formation.
  • The infant's parents experienced anxiety due to the presence of natal teeth, perceiving them as a sign of abnormality.

Findings:

  • The natal teeth were managed conservatively with monitoring, cleaning, and daily topical sodium fluoride applications.

  • Monthly consultations were conducted to monitor the infant's progress.
  • At 9 months of age, the primary lower central incisors showed no mobility, and radiographs indicated incomplete radicular formation.

    • Implications:

    • Conservative management of natal teeth can be effective, alleviating parental anxiety.
    • This case highlights the importance of monitoring natal teeth for proper development and root formation.
    • Further research into the etiology and long-term outcomes of natal teeth is warranted.
