O fibroma ossificante periférico é uma lesão reativa da gengiva, com apenas cinco casos relatados em recém-nascidos. Objetivo: Relatar um caso de fibroma ossificante periférico em recém-nascido e discutir as complicações associadas aos dentes natais/neonatais. Caso clínico: Um menino mexicano de 4 meses de idade apresentou dois dentes natais que foram extraídos quinze dias após o nascimento. Posteriormente, observou-se crescimento de tecidos moles nesta área, com duas zonas radiopacas identificadas radiograficamente. Com o diagnóstico presuntivo de lesão reativa, foi realizada biópsia excisional, com evolução satisfatória durante o seguimento. Conclusões: O fibroma ossificante periférico deve ser considerado como uma complicação potencial devido à presença ou extração de dentes natais/neonatais, devendo ser tratado prontamente devido às suas repercussões clínicas.

Oral soft tissue injuries are rare in newborns and can lead to inappropriate feeding, growth, and cognitive development. Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a reactive lesion of the gingiva, with only five cases reported in newborns. Objective: To report a case of peripheral ossifying fibroma in a newborn, and to discuss the complications associated with natal/neonatal teeth. Clinical case: A 4-month-old Mexican male presented two natal teeth that were extracted fifteen days after birth. Subsequently, soft tissue growth was observed in this area, with two radiopaque zones radiographically identified. With the presumptive diagnosis of reactive lesion, an excisional biopsy was performed, with satisfactory evolution during follow-up. Conclusions: Peripheral ossifying fibroma should be considered as a potential complication due to the presence or extraction of natal/neonatal teeth, and should be treated promptly due to its clinical repercussions.

Ellis-Van Creveld Syndrome, neonatal teeth and breastfeeding impairment: a case report / Síndrome de Ellis-Van Creveld, dentes neonatais e dificuldade de aleitamento materno: um relato de caso

ABSTRACT Because of multisystemic impairment in patients with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, multidisciplinary care may be demanded since birth to assure breastfeeding. This report presents a case of an Ellis-van Creveld infant that was facing breastfeeding difficulties because of maxillary neonatal teeth. A 3 months old male infant with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome was referred to Pediatric Dentistry Department because of two upper neonatal teeth causing breastfeeding difficulties. Clinical examination revealed that teeth position was compatible to 51 and 61, and both presented uncommon ectopic soft tissue placement, conical crown and hypoplastic enamel covered by a large amount of dental biofilm. Radiography indicated they were of normal series and had 2/3 of crown completion. Due to teeth mobility that impaired breastfeeding, treatment option was exodontia. Early tooth eruption, such as in natal and neonatal teeth, by itself can't be considered a reason for exodontia. But exodontia must be considered when an early erupted tooth(s) impairs breastfeeding, especially in systemically compromised infants. In this present case report, after teeth extraction, the infant was able to breastfeed and gain weight properly.

RESUMO Devido ao comprometimento multissistêmico em pacientes com Síndrome de Ellis-Van Creveld, cuidados multidisciplinares podem ser necessários desde o nascimento a fim de assegurar o aleitamento materno. O presente relato apresenta um caso de um bebê portador de Síndrome de Ellis-Van Creveld, o qual apresentava dificuldades durante a amamentação devido a dentes neonatais superiores. Um bebê de 3 meses de vida, portador da Síndrome de Ellis-Van Creveld foi encaminhado ao Departamento de Odontopediatria, por apresentar dois dentes neonatais superiores, os quais estavam causando dificuldades durante o aleitamento materno. O exame clínico demonstrou que a posição dos dentes era compatível com os dentes decíduos #51 e #61, ambos apresentavam implantação ectópica incomum em tecido mole, apresentavam coroa cônica e esmalte hipoplásico coberto por grande quantidade de biofilme dentário. O exame radiográfico indicou que os dentes eram compatíveis com a série normal e apresentavam desenvolvimento completo de 2/3 da coroa. Devido a mobilidade dentária, a qual prejudicava o aleitamento materno, a opção de tratamento foi a exodontia. A erupção dentária precoce, como ocorre com dentes natais ou neonatais, por si só não pode ser considerada motivo para a realização de exodontia, porém esta deve ser considerada, quando prejudica o aleitamento materno, especialmente em bebês sistemicamente comprometidos. No presente relato de caso, após a exodontia, o bebê conseguiu realizar o aleitamento materno e apresentou ganho de peso correto.

Traumatic sublingual ulceration in a newborn

Natal and neonatal teeth are those which are present in the oral cavity at the time of birth and within thirty days of birth. They are likely to be associated with traumatic sublingual ulceration caused to the suckling as well as movements of the tongue. The treatment of choice is mostly conservative whenever possible. The purpose of this report is to present a case of traumatic sublingual ulceration in a twenty days old baby. The lesion resolved soon after the offending tooth was removed.

New progress in the diagnosis and treatment of natal teeth and neonatal teeth / 中华口腔医学杂志

There were great individual differences in eruption time of the teeth. Generally speaking, the deciduous teeth begin to erupt at 6 months after birth, but some babies are born with erupted teeth, which are called natal teeth; in addition, teeth erupted within 30 days after the baby is born are called neonatal teeth. Natal teeth and neonatal teeth may cause ulceration, aspiration, and nipple pain or trauma in the mother′s breast during the time of breastfeeding. Extraction of the teeth may cause complications such as neonatal osteomyelitis. To avoid the complications caused by these diseases, and to alleviate the suffering of patients and their families, this article will introduce the clinical manifestations, etiology and related complications of natal teeth and neonatal teeth, and then give some treatment methods and nursing methods, especially to help clinical work.

Dientes natales asociados con enfermedad de Riga-Fede: actualización literaria a propósito de un caso / Riga-Fede disease associated with natal teeth: review of the literature a propos of a case

El italiano Antonio Riga describe una lesión ulcerativa en el vientre lingual relacionada con traumatismo crónico por los órganos dentales de erupción atípica prematura, no fue hasta que el italiano Francesco Saverio Fede, en 1890 realizó la primera publicación de la entidad patológica. En 2002, la Sociedad Argentina de Dermatología incluyó la úlcera eosinófila de la mucosa oral dentro de la clasificación de Fitzpatrick. La presencia de los dientes neonatales y natales se origina por una alteración en conjunto de los cromosomas 4, 5 y 14 (AU)

The Italian Antonio Riga describes an ulcerative injury in the lingual belly related to chronic traumatism by the dental organs of a premature atypical eruption, it was not until the Italian Francesco Saverio Fede, in 1890, made the first publication of the pathological entity. In 2002, the Argentinean Society of Dermatology included the eosinophilic ulcer of the oral mucous within the classification of Fitzpatrick. The presence of the neonatal and natal teeth is caused by a combined alteration of chromosomes 4, 5 and 14 (AU)

Natal and neonatal teeth: two clinical cases report / Dentes natais e neonatais: relato de dois casos clínicos

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to report two cases of newborns with natal and neonatal teeth. Case 1 - a female child presented a natal tooth in the region of lower central incisors since birth. Mother's child reported a family history of this feature. Since the tooth did not present either mobility, prevent breastfeeding, cause discomfort to the child or hurt mother's breast, it was chosen for its maintenance and monitoring. Case 2 - a male child presented, during the first two weeks of life, the eruption of two neonatal teeth in the region of lower central incisors. During the interview, his mother reported no familiar history of this condition. Because the teeth has tapered edges, causing the Riga-Fede's disease, impairing breastfeeding, causing discomfort to the child and injuring the mother's breast, it was decided for its extraction. It may be concluded that the presence of natal and neonatal teeth represent a rare condition that requires further studies to confirm its etiology. Therapeutic approaches must be preceded by a careful clinical evaluation since, as it was seen in this report, both cases were submitted to different treatments showing good evolution.

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar dois casos clínicos de recém-nascidos que apresentaram dentes natais e neonatais. Caso 1 - criança do gênero feminino, apresentou ao nascimento, um dente natal na região de incisivos centrais inferiores. Durante a anamnese, a mãe relatou histórico familiar desta alteração. Devido o elemento dentário não apresentar mobilidade, não impedir a amamentação, não causar desconforto à criança e não ferir a mama da mãe, optou-se pela sua manutenção e acompanhamento. Caso 2 - criança do gênero masculino, apresentou na primeira quinzena de vida, o irrompimento de dois dentes neonatais na região de incisivos centrais inferiores. Durante a anamnese, a mãe relatou não haver histórico familiar desta alteração. Devido a esses elementos dentários apresentarem bordas afiladas, causando a doença de Riga-Fede, comprometerem a amamentação, causarem desconforto à criança e ferirem a mama da mãe, optou-se pela sua exodontia. Conclui-se que a presença de dentes natais e neonatais é uma condição rara e mais estudos são necessários para se confirmar sua etiologia. As abordagens terapêuticas devem seguir uma criteriosa avaliação clínica, pois, como visto neste relato, os dois casos foram submetidos a diferentes tratamentos e ambos apresentaram boa evolução.

Dente natal e neonatal: diagnóstico e conduta terapêutica / Natal and neonatal teeth: diagnosis and therapeutic conduct

O objetivo do presente estudo é definir dente neonatal e natal, a fim de discutir sobre eles, com ênfase à vigilância da cavidade bucal. Objetiva-se, também, conduzir o cirurgião-dentista ao diagnóstico preciso de dentes natais e neonatais, diferenciando-os de outras sugestões de prováveis diagnósticos que podem levar o cirurgião-dentista a se confundir e/ou duvidar do diagnóstico provável, além de auxiliá-lo na decisão terapêutica de dentes natais e neonatais e expor o prognóstico ideal desejado

The aim of this study is to define neonatal and home tooth in order to discuss them with emphasis on surveillance of the oral cavity. In order to lead the dentist to the precise diagnosis of natal and neonatal teeth differentiating them from other suggestions of likely diagnoses that can lead the dentist to confuse and/or doubt the likely diagnosis; and help in therapeutic decision about natal and neonatal teeth and expose the ideal desired outcome

Natal tooth in preterm newborn: a case report / Dente natal em recém-nascido pré-termo: relato de caso

ABSTRACT Low birth weight and prematurity may be associated with delayed dental eruption in the deciduous dentition; notwithstanding this relationship, cases of preterm newborns presenting natal or neonatal teeth have been reported in the literature, although this is a rare occurrence. The objective was to present the report of natal tooth in a preterm newborn, analyzing the uniqueness of this case in contrast to the delayed dental eruption usually observed in association with prematurity. Case report: The newborn infant girl, with a gestational age of 36 weeks and 3 days and birth weight of 2,300 g, was attended to as part of the "Strategies for Oral Health Promotion for Infants" project, linked to the Pediatric Dentistry course at the Federal University of Espírito Santo. The newborn infant was referred by the neonatology and pediatric department of the university hospital as she presented an erupted tooth at birth. Clinical examination, in the region corresponding to the lower central incisors, revealed the presence of an erupted natal tooth and homologous tooth covered in gingival tissue. The periapical radiograph confirmed teeth 71 and 81. Since they were well implanted and did not interfere with breastfeeding, these teeth were retained. The mother was instructed to return if there were ulcerations in the infant's tongue or nipple fissures, with the use of negative reporting regarding the occurrence of alterations up to two months of age. The occurrence of natal tooth teeth is rare, but they may be present in the preterm newborn, despite the association between prematurity and delayed dental eruption in the deciduous dentition.

RESUMO O baixo peso ao nascer e a prematuridade podem estar associados ao atraso na erupção dental na dentição decídua; não obstante esta relação, têm sido relatados na literatura casos de recém-nascidos pré-termo apresentando dentes natais ou neonatais, embora isto seja uma ocorrência rara. O objetivo foi apresentar o relato de dente natal em um recém-nascido pré-termo, analisando a singularidade deste caso em contraponto ao atraso na erupção dental usualmente observado em associação à prematuridade. Relato do caso: O recém-nascido, sexo feminino, com idade gestacional de 36 semanas e 3 dias, peso ao nascimento de 2.300g, foi atendido no projeto de extensão "Estratégias de Promoção de Saúde Bucal para Bebês" vinculado à disciplina de Odontopediatria da Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo, encaminhado pelo setor de neonatologia e pediatria do hospital universitário por apresentar um dente erupcionado desde o nascimento. Ao exame clínico constatou-se, na região correspondente aos incisivos centrais inferiores, a presença de um dente natal erupcionado e um dente homólogo recoberto pelo tecido gengival. A radiografia periapical evidenciou os elementos 71 e 81. Como estavam bem implantados e não interferiam na amamentação, estes dentes foram mantidos. A mãe foi orientada a retornar à clínica caso ocorressem ulcerações na língua do bebê ou fissuras mamilares, havendo relato negativo quanto à ocorrência de alterações, até os dois meses de idade. A ocorrência de dente natal é rara, mas pode estar presente em recém-nascido pré-termo, apesar da associação entre prematuridade e atraso na erupção dental na dentição decídua.

Dientes natales: informe de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Natal teeth: report of a case and review of the literature

Cuando se encuentran dientes presentes al nacimiento es frecuente que los médicos pediatras interconsulten con el odontólogo, dichos dientes reciben el nombre de natales y neonatales de acuerdo con el momento en el cual hacen su aparición, si los dientes se encuentran presentes al nacimiento se les denomina natales y si aparecen durante el primer mes de vida se les llama neonatales. No es raro que los dientes natales y neonatales carezcan de raíz, y debido a su débil unión con eltejido gingival es posible que estos dientes puedan desalojarse y serbroncoaspirados o deglutidos por el menor durante la alimentación al seno materno. Si bien los dientes natales y neonatales no constituyen una entidad patológica per se, existen algunos síndromes genéticos que entre sus características se encuentran los dientes natales o neonatales.

When teeth are present at birth, pediatricians frequently seek the opinionof a dentist. These teeth are known as natal or neonatal depending onwhether they are present at birth or appear during the fi rst month oflife. It is not uncommon for natal and neonatal teeth to have no root,and due to their weak bond to the gingival tissue they can come looseand be breathed in or swallowed by the child during breast feeding.While natal and neonatal teeth are not a pathological entity per se,there are certain genetic syndromes whose features include natal orneonatal teeth.

Manejo de dientes natales y neonatales: reporte de dos casos / Management of natal and neonatal teeth: report of two cases

Los dientes natales son órganos dentarios que se presentan al nacimiento, y los neonatales son aquellos que erupcionan durante el primer mes de vida. La etiología exacta es desconocida. El manejo de estos dientes depende de múltiples factores. La extracción está indicada cuando eldiente es un supernumerario o presenta movilidad excesiva debido al riesgo de broncoaspiración. Cuando tienen ligera movilidad, generalmente se estabilizan conforme van erupcionando. El objetivo de este reporte es la presentación de dos casos clínicos de dientes natales yneonatales que se manejaron con abordajes diferentes, el primero demanera conservadora y el segundo con la extracción del órgano dental.

Natal teeth are those present at birth. Those erupting during the fi rst month of life are neonatal teeth. The etiology is not known. Natal teeth management is dependent on multiple factors. If the natal tooth is su-pernumerary, 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 fi rst with a more conservative treatment and the second one with the extraction of the teeth.

Granuloma telangiectásico asociado a diente natal / Teliangectaticum granuloma associated to a natal tooth

Granuloma telangiectásico bucal, también conocido como granuloma piógeno, es una proliferación de tejido de granulación exuberante, a una inflamación crónica o una irritación local, poco frecuente del recién nacido, que se presenta como una lesión tumoral única, localizada con mayor frecuencia en la zona anterior de la cresta alveolar, de sangrado espontáneo, tiene predilección por el género femenino, la etiología se relaciona con factores traumáticos, irritación local y cambios hormonales, por el tamaño puede afectar la alimentación del neonato, la remoción quirúrgica es el tratamiento de elección. Se presenta caso clínico de recién nacido con diagnóstico de granuloma telangiectásico en reborde mandibular asociado a diente natal, se describen las características clínicas, histopatológicas y tratamiento.

Oral teliangectaticum granuloma, also known as pyogenic granuloma is a proliferation of exuberant granulation tissue caused by chronic inflammation or local irritation. It is a rare lesion in newborn; it appears as an isolated tumor lesion, mostly located in the anterior zone of the alveolar crest. This lesion bleeds spontaneously and shows predilection for the female gender. Its etiology is related to trauma factors, local irritation and hormonal changes. Due to its size it can affect the newborn's feeding. Surgical removal is the choice treatment for this type of lesions. The present study presents the case of a newborn with diagnosis of telangiectaticum granuloma in the mandibular ridge associated to a natal tooth. Clinical and histopathological characteristics are described as well as performed treatment.

Diente natal / Natal teeth

INTRODUCCIÓN: se denominan dientes natales a aquellos dientes que se encuentran presentes en la cavidad bucal en el momento del nacimiento. Estos constituyen una alteración de erupción precoz y se presenta con más frecuencia en la región de los incisivos centrales inferiores. Dichos dientes pueden ocasionar trastornos en la alimentación, ulceraciones traumáticas sublinguales llamada entonces enfermedad de Riga-Fede y preocupaciones en cuanto a la posible aspiración de los mismos. OBJETIVO: describir las características de una niña con diente natal y los aspectos más relevantes del diagnóstico y tratamiento. PRESENTACIÓN DEL CASO: a la consulta de odontopediatría se presentó una madre con una niña de un mes de nacida, remitida del Servicio de Pediatría debido a la sospecha de presencia de un diente en el momento de su nacimiento. Dada la dificultad para la lactancia, la gran movilidad del diente y el alto riesgo de desprendimiento, el tratamiento aplicado fue la EXODONCIA. CONCLUSIONES: el caso presentó un diente natal pequeño y con ningún desarrollo radicular. El tratamiento aplicado fue exodoncia por el grado de movilidad del diente y forma cónica y puntiforme que tenía riesgo de desprendimiento. Por tener un mes de nacida no existía peligro de deficiencia de la coagulación resultante de la síntesis insuficiente de vitamina K que ocurre en los primeros días de vida. Aunque la presencia de diente natal es infrecuente es de gran importancia el conocimiento del diagnóstico y tratamiento del diente natal para el estomatólogo(AU)

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(AU)

Dientes natales: revisión bibliográfica y caso clínico / Natal teeth: case report and review

Los dientes natales y neonatales deben valorarse con mucho cuidado; estimando su movilidad, integridad y la presencia de una úlcera (Riga Fede) en la superficie ventral de la lengua causada por su roce con el diente. Los dientes natales podrían parecerse a la dentición temporal normal en tamaño y forma, sin embargo, también pueden presentarse más pequeños, cónicos, con esmalte y dentina hipoplásicos, con poca formación o ausencia de sus raíces. La mayoría de estos dientes no son supernumerarios y no se requieren extracciones en todos los casos. Es de fundamental importancia el seguimiento periódico de un odontopediatra. En este artículo se presenta un caso clínico y se revisa la epidemiología, etiología, presentación clínica, diagnóstico diferencial, así como, el manejo de los dientes natales.

Natal and neonatal teeth should be evaluated carefully, considering their mobility, integrity and the presence of an ulcer (Riga Fede) on the ventral surface of the tongue caused by his brush with the tooth. Natal teeth may resemble normal primary dentition in size and shape, however, may also smaller, conical, with hypoplasic enamel and dentin, with little development or absence from their roots. Most of these teeth are not temporary and does not require removal in all cases. It is essential periodic monitoring of a pediatric dentist. This article presents a case report and review the epidemiology, etiology, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis and the management of natal teeth.
