Abstract
Preterm infants have higher possibility of undergoing endotracheal intubation after birth than normal children due to medical conditions. Developmental disturbances of primary incisors following intubation can occur as crown malformation, enamel defects, delayed eruption, displacement of dental follicle in crypt, groove formation of palate or alveolar ridge, acquired cleft palate, and dental arch distortion. This clinical report presents the effect of intubation on primary dentition of preterm infants. A 2-year-old girl with cerebral palsy and premature birth history visited our clinic with chief complaint of unerupted primary upper incisor. A 1-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, status epilepticus and premature birth history visited our clinic due to crown malformation. Developmental disturbances of primary incisors in these cases were not related to the patients' systemic disease, and there were no history of dental trauma. A long term endotracheal intubation prior to tooth eruption might have caused local trauma on alveolar ridge. It is very important to monitor dental problems of preterm infants who had experienced endotracheal intubation during neonatal period. Due to influences on both primary and permanent teeth, periodic re-evaluation of affected areas and establishment of comprehensive treatment plans are necessary.
