NATAL AND NEONATAL TEETH

Abstract

The normal eruption of the primary teeth especially begins at 6-9th months of age. From delivery to this age a number of differences occur in the oral cavity as well as the general development of the infant. Comprehensive knowledge of dental needs occuring in this period is vital in order to provide sufficient oral care for the infant. Tooth eruption usually follows a chronological order with rare exceptions as natal teeth and neonatal teeth, teeth present at the time of birth and erupt within the following 30 days respectively. Natal and neonatal teeth are of rare incidence and parents and physicians have limited knowledge about management of these cases. The aim of this study was to review the important aspects of the literature about natal and neonatal teeth

NATAL VE NEONATAL DİŞLER

Abstract

Oral kaviteye ilk süt dişlerinin sürmesi 6-9. aylarda gerçekleşmektedir. Doğumdan bu zamana kadar, genel gelişimde olduğu gibi ağız içerisinde de birçok değişiklik gerçekleşmektedir. Bu süreçte meydana gelen değişikliklerin etraflıca bilinmesi, çocuğa iyi bir dental bakım sağlanabilmesi için önem arz etmektedir. Dişlerin sürmesi genellikle kronolojik bir sırayı takip etse de istisnalar görülebilmektedir. Bu sıra dışı durumlardan birisi de doğumda ağızda bulunan natal dişler ve doğumdan sonraki ilk ay içerisinde süren neonatal dişlerdir. Natal ve neonatal dişler nadir olarak karşılaşılan dişlerdir ve ebeveyn ve aile hekimleri böyle bir durumda nasıl davranılacağını tam olarak bilmemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, nadir karşılaşılan bir durum olan natal-neonatal dişler hakkındaki mevcut çalışmalardan önemli noktaların derlenmesi ve bu dişlerin tedavi yaklaşımları hakkında bilgi sunmaktır.
