Natal and neonatal teeth: a clinical and histological study.
Nine thousand and six hundred infants delivered in a maternity hospital were examined for the prevalence of natal and neonatal teeth. The prevalence among this group was noted. The teeth were the normal primary incisors that had erupted prematurely. The crown was normal in shape and size with very little root formation. The histological features were that of an immature tooth.
