Residual Natal Teeth. Review of the Literature and Report of a Rare Case
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Natal teeth are defined as dental organs present at birth in the oral cavity of infants; while neonatal teeth are those that erupt within the first thirty days of extrauterine life. There are protocols for the treatment of these dental organs, which aim to monitor correct feeding and avoid the formation of traumatic ulceration (Riga-Fede), as well as the possibility of the poorly implanted tooth being subject to swallowing or bronchoaspiration. Objective: to describe the clinical case of the development of a residual natal tooth (RNT) following extraction of natal teeth and a review of the literature on the most relevant aspects of natal teeth, neonatal teeth and the development of residual natal teeth. Case presentation: A 2-month-old male patient who developed an RNT after the indicated extraction following luxation of his natal teeth. Hopefully, this case will serve to warn general dentists and specialists who decide to extract a natal or neonatal tooth about the possibility of the remaining post-extraction tissue calcifying and forming an RNT. Conclusions: a correct evaluation is necessary to prevent the development of an RNT and it is important that the subject is addressed in the educational programmes of universities.
