ABSTRACT

Natal teeth are those present at birth. Those erupting during the first month of life are neonatal teeth. The etiology is not known. Natal teeth management is dependent on multiple factors. If the natal tooth is supernumerary, the treatment of choice is extraction; likewise, when the teeth are excessively mobile, extraction is indicated due to the risk of aspiration. When natal teeth are only slightly mobile, they often stabilize soon after eruption. The aim of this report is to present two cases of natal and neonatal teeth that were managed with different approaches; the first with a more conservative treatment and the second one with the extraction of the teeth.
