Abstract: Aim: To do a review on the dental anomalies in preterm children. Objective: To find out the different anomalies present in the oral cavity in preterm children. Background: Preterm and low birth weight infants comprise approximately 6% of the total live births. Apart from medical problems they also have dental anomalies. Studies have shown a high prevalence of generalized enamel hypoplasia in the primary dentition of around 40-70 per cent in preterm children which is likely to be associated with low bone mineral stores. Enamel hypoplasia, crown dilacerations, and palatal distortions are other ther dental defects observed in preterm children. Reason: The current review would analyse the dental anomalies in preterm children so as to be aware of the possible anomalies they might develop the children can also be monitored and treatment intervention can be done at an early stage
