ABSTRACT
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.

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.

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)

Introdução Dentes natais são aqueles presentes na cavidade oral no nascimento. Aparecem comumente na mandíbula, podendo interferir na alimentação. Objetivo: Relatar o caso clínico de um paciente de vinte e quatro meses de vida, do gênero masculino, levado pela mãe à clínica de odontopediatria, com dificuldade de alimentação. Método: Durante a anamnese, a mãe relatou a presença de dentes no lactente, desde o nascimento, e a perda de peso. Ao ser submetido a exame clínico, observaram-se dois dentes na região de incisivos inferiores, com bastante mobilidade. Em seguida, ao ser submetido a exame radiográfico, constatou-se que eram os dentes 71 e 81. Resultado: Optou-se por extraí-los, pois não estavam bem implantados, havendo o risco de aspiração pelo bebê. Após sete dias, verificou-se que houve ganho de peso e a abordagem mostrou-se indicada e eficaz. Conclusão A decisão de tratamento depende do conhecimento científico do cirurgião-dentista, da avaliação radiográfica, do grau de mobilidade dentária e da avaliação da amamentação.
Introduction Natal teeth are those in the oral cavity at birth. Appear commonly in the mandible, which may interfere with eating. Objective: To report the clinical case of a patient twenty-four months old, male, taken by his mother to the clinic of pediatric dentistry, with feeding difficulties. Method: During the interview, the mother reported the presence of teeth in infants from birth, and weight loss. To be subjected to clinical examination, there were two teeth in the region of the lower incisors are highly mobile. Then, when he underwent radiographic examination, it was found that the teeth were 71 and 81. Result: It was decided to remove them because they were not well established, with the risk of aspiration by the infant. After seven days, it was found that there was weight gain and the approach proved to be indicated and effective. Conclusion The treatment decision depends on scientific knowledge of the dentist, radiographic evaluation, the degree of tooth mobility and evaluation of breastfeeding.

Teeth erupting within the first month after birth are known as neonatal teeth. Incidence of neonatal teeth is very low. Neonatal teeth erupt in various regions of the maxillary and mandibular arch. Incidence of neonatal teeth in molar region is only 1%. A case of an unusual neonatal tooth in the maxillary molar region has been presented.

50 cases of natal and neonatal teeth were studied at Seth G. S. Medical College and K.E.M. Hospital in order to find out its most common location, sexual predilection, occurrence etc. The cases of natal and neonatal teeth usually report to the hospital due to difficulty in suckling, ulceration to the breast nipple and fear of aspiration of the teeth.
