This report details two cases of natal and neonatal teeth in Saudi infants, discussing their features and management. Early identification and appropriate care are crucial for these common dental anomalies.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Natal teeth are present at birth; neonatal teeth erupt within the first 30 days of life.
  • These conditions, while relatively common, require careful evaluation due to potential complications.
  • Understanding the etiology and clinical presentation is key for effective management.

Observation:

  • Case 1: A Saudi newborn female presented with a single natal tooth.
  • Case 2: A Saudi newborn male presented with two neonatal teeth.
  • Both cases involved typically located mandibular incisors.

Findings:

  • Natal and neonatal teeth can present unique diagnostic and management challenges.
  • Potential complications include feeding difficulties, trauma to the infant's tongue (Riga-Fede disease), and aspiration risk.

  • Conservative management is often preferred when feasible.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of recognizing and managing natal/neonatal teeth in pediatric populations.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding diagnostic approaches and treatment strategies.
    • Contributes to the understanding of dental anomalies in newborns within the Saudi population.
