Posterior neonatal teeth

Abstract

Teeth which are present in the oral cavity of newborn infant at the time of birth are called "natal teeth" and which erupts in first month of postnatal life are called as "neonatal teeth." The incidence of these teeth is 1 in 2000 to 1 in 3500 live birth. The most common natal teeth reported are mandibular central incisors followed by maxillary incisors and mandibular canine. The natal or neonatal tooth in maxillary molar region is a rare occurrence. This article represents a rare case of bilateral neonatal maxillary molar teeth.

Neonatal teeth concomitant with fibrous hyperplasia: A rare case report

“…In general, extraction in newly born infants may cause bleeding problem because the bacterial flora present in the digestive tract of new born infants may be ineffective in the production of Vitamin K during the first 10 days following delivery. 10 Since parenteral Vitamin K prevents a life threatening haemorrhagic disease of the new born, the American Academy of Paediatrics recommends that all new born infants should be given a single intramuscular dose of 0.5-1 mg of Vitamin K. 11 After extraction of the tooth, curettage of the socket should be performed to avoid continued development of the cells of dental papilla failure to which might result in further eruption of the odontogenic remnants. 12 If the tooth is not indorsed for extraction, smoothening of the cusp tips or incisal edges may be required to prevent any trauma to the feeding breasts or the opposing gum pad.…”

Prematurely Erupted Tooth in Preterm Infant

“…Asi v 85 % se jedná o dolní střední řezák. Vzácněji je prořezán horní řezák a zcela ojediněle jsou přítomny moláry nebo špičáky [5,17,29]. Nejčastěji nacházíme u novorozence jeden nebo dva prořezané zuby.…”
