Literature review and micro ‐computed tomography analysis of natal teeth: A pilot study

ConclusionMicro ‐CT is an alternative and non‐invasive method to anatomically assess natal teeth. According to the pilot study, natal teeth exhibited lower TMD, decreased enamel and dentine thickness, and smaller pulpal space volume in comparison with mandibular primary incisor teeth. This pilot study creates a foundation to establish the collection and analysis of natal teeth on a larger scale over time using micro‐CT.
