Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol. 1992 May;73(5):543-5. doi: 10.1016/0030-4220(92)90093-6.

Abstract

A 20-day-old black male infant with two rare posterior natal teeth was referred for examination and care. Oral radiographs suggested that the teeth were the right and left maxillary primary molars. The hypermobile teeth and associated suspicious soft tissue masses were removed. Histologic examination revealed irregular tooth structures and infiltrate consistent with inflamed dental follicles.
