Pulp Polyp Associated with a Natal Tooth: Case Report

Abstract

Natal teeth are an infrequent occurrence at birth. Often these teeth are extracted because they are very mobile and pose a risk of aspiration. This is a rare case in which a natal tooth was extracted by the pediatrician with his fingers. A root fragment remained and out of this developed a large pulp polyp. This relationship has not been previously reported.

Ossifying fibrous epulis associated with natal tooth: A rare case report

Singh et al [2] reported a case of reactive fibrous hyperplasia, pulp polyp by Vergotine [5] and POF by Kohli [6] and Ravindranath. [7] Ossifying fibroid epulis, peripheral fibroma with calcification, peripheral cemento-ossifying fibroma, calcifying fibroma, peripheral cementifying fibroma, ossifying fibro-epithelial polyp, peripheral fibroma with osteogenesis, peripheral fibroma with cementogenesis, peripheral fibroma with calcification, calcifying or OFE, and calcifying fibroblastic granuloma are all terms that have been used to refer to POF.…”
