Eruption of teeth at birth or immediately after is a rare phenomenon. The presence of teeth at birth is called natal teeth. However, the etiology of natal teeth is not deterministic. The natal teeth can lead to various medical associated problems and is also associated with various folklores and misconceptions. The diagnosis of natal teeth with its medical management along with counseling of the parents and family members is very important. The present case report provides an insight to the management of natal teeth in identical twins with a brief review of literature. Quantitative light-induced fluorescence imaging and cone beam computed tomography analysis of the teeth have also been done and compared with that of the primary dentition indicating hypo-mineralized tooth structure with decrease in radiodensity of the natal teeth. The present paper is a value addition in alternative diagnostic methods as an adjunct in the diagnosis of natal teeth and differentiating between the natal teeth and primary teeth. • The incidence of natal teeth is approximately 1 in 3,000 live births, and found in the mandibular anterior region. • The management of natal teeth involves prompt diagnosis, clinical evaluation, and parental counseling. • Natal teeth may lead to complications such as aspiration, feeding difficulties, and tongue ulceration (Riga-Fede disease). • Quantitative light-induced fluorescence imaging can be used to assess mineralization in natal teeth. • CBCT imaging of natal teeth reveals lower Hounsfield unit values, indicating lower mineral density compared to primary teeth.
