The Special Needs of Preterm Children - An Oral Health Perspective.
Dental Clinics of North America 2016 July
Preterm births are defined as those before 37 weeks of gestation. With advances in fertility medicine and neonatal medicine, the numbers of preterm children in the community have significantly increased. Developmental delays and complications among preterm children are well recognized. Much less consideration is given to the dental complications of preterm children.
