Teeth that erupt prematurely have been designated with various terms such as natal teeth, neonatal teeth, congenital teeth, pre-deciduous teeth and dentitio praecox. Tooth agenesis is one of very common finding in a person. Developmental or congenital absence of one or more teeth excluding the third molars is a highly prevalent condition referred to as hypodontia. The incidence of hypodontia usually varies from 1.6-6.9% while the incidence of natal teeth on the other hand is noted to be approximately 1:2,000-1:3,000. Lower primary central incisors are the most affected tooth. The occurrence of retained natal teeth and that too with hypodontia is not found in the literature. This case report presents a rare occurrence of hypodontia with presence of retained natal teeth in a 14-year-old male child. Diagnosis made as non-syndromic hypodontia and retained natal teeth.
