ABSTRACT

Introduction: natal teeth are defined as those teeth that are present in the mouth at the time of birth. Natal teeth form an alteration of early eruption; generally the lower temporary central incisors are the most common tooth affected. These teeth are rare anomalies in newborns that can cause feed disturbances, tongue ulceration (Riga-Fede disease) and risk of aspiration of them.
Objective: the aim of this paper is to present a case report of a newborn girl with neonatal tooth and the most relevant aspects concerning the diagnosis and treatment.
Clinic Case: a30 -day-old female baby was brought to our department, because she had one tooth at birth. Due to the great mobility it was decided to extract the mobile natal teeth.
Comment: natal teeth, in most cases are small and with poor root development. The treatment of these teeth will depend on the degree of tooth mobility and presence of sharp incisal edge.The extraction must do after of the first weeks, because the vitamin K levels are low in the first days after birth and this is very important for the clot formation.
