Abstract
Natal teeth, defined as those that are the mouth at birth, are rare: one case in 2,000 to 3,500 births. In this case, that of a nine-month-old Japanese boy, it is reasonable to infer that the tooth-like structure, described as a hard-tissue conglomerate with a bone-like appearance, originated in the remnant of the dental papilla and Hertwig's sheath of the natal tooth. Both dentin and root formation were thereby induced.Entities:
