Abstract

Child development from conception through the birth and especially till first few years of life is marked by many milestone continuous changes. Tooth eruption follows a chronology corresponding to the date when a particular tooth erupts into the oral cavity. Teeth erupting at birth are quite rare and are referred to as natal teeth. Natal teeth may be associated with many etiologies like genetic, heredity, environmental and endocrinal or can be a part of syndromes. We are reporting here an unusual case of natal teeth without any congenital abnormality. Epidemiological, etiological, and therapeutical aspects of this developmental disturbance of teeth eruption is reviewed in order to establish guidelines for the dentist and neonatologist to manage this problem with minimal damage to the future teeth and the psychological aspects in relation to family of patient.

Key words: Natal Teeth; Eruption; Endocrinology.
