TORRES SALINAS, Carlos  and  SIERRA CORDOVA, Paúl. Dientes natales en neonatos prematuros productos de gestación gemelar. Reporte de caso. Pediatr. (Asunción) [online]. 2023, vol.50, n.3, pp.210-215. ISSN 1683-9803.  https://doi.org/10.31698/ped.50032023010.

We present the case of 2 twin newborns, late preterm, who were a product of monochorionic - diamniotic gestation and presented with natal teeth, which required a dental evaluation to define the best management strategy and thereby avoid risks or fatal outcomes such as bronchial aspiration. The evaluation showed little mobility of teeth in both cases, so it was recommended to keep the teeth. The parents were counseled on proper oral health care and hygiene for their daughters and scheduled for an outpatient follow-up at 3 months.

Keywords : Neonatal teeth; primary tooth; premature newborn.
