Resumen
SOUZA, A.C.R.A. et al. Neonatal teeth: A case report and review of literature. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.5, pp.253-258. ISSN 2340-3152.
Natal and neonatal teeth are rare anomalies in newborns that can cause feed disturbances, tongue ulceration (Riga-Fede disease) and risk of aspiration of them. The difference between natal and neonatal teeth is based on time of eruption. The natal teeth are those that are already present in the oral cavity since birth, and neonatal teeth are those that appear in the oral cavity in the first month of life. The aim of this paper is to present a case of neonatal tooth as well as to discuss, with literature basis, the most relevant aspects concerning the diagnosis and treatment employed.
