印度男嬰一出生就有7顆牙 經兩次手術全部拔除

Doctors in the western Indian state of Gujarat have successfully extracted seven teeth from a one-month old infant.

印度西部古吉拉特邦的醫生，成功地從一名一個月大的嬰兒口中拔除了7顆牙齒。

"The baby is doing fine now," dental surgeon Dr Meet Ramatri, who carried out the operation in August told BBC.

在8月份進行手術的牙醫米特·拉瑪崔依向BBC透露：“這名嬰兒現在完全康復了”。

He said that the procedure was carried out in two stages. They first extracted four teeth, and then the other three.

他表示，手術分兩個階段進行。他們第一次拔掉了4顆，後來又拔掉了另外3顆。

The baby's teeth were discovered a few days after his birth. His parents took him to a paediatrician when he had difficulty breastfeeding.

這名嬰兒在出生幾天後就被發現長了這些牙齒。由於擔心母乳餵養困難，他的父母帶他去看一名兒科醫生。

Upon examining the infant, the paediatrician found white tissue in his mouth and referred the family to Dr Ramatri.

在對嬰兒進行檢查後，這名兒科醫生在他嘴巴里發現了白色組織，介紹這家人去找拉瑪崔依醫生。

"When I examined him, I found that he had seven teeth," Dr Ramatri told BBC. "Sometimes you see tips (of the teeth) in newborns but they don't grow for a while. In this case, the teeth were fully out."

拉瑪崔依醫生向BBC透露：“當我爲他檢查時，我發現他長了七顆牙齒。有時，你會在新生兒的口腔裏發現（牙齒的）小尖，但它們短時間內不會長出來。但是在這個案例中，牙齒已經完全長出來了。”

While Dr Ramatri said he had not read about a case like this before, he felt that it was not necessarily abnormal.

儘管拉瑪崔依醫生表示他以前沒有遇到過類似的案例，但他也認爲這並不一定不正常。

"It is a normal biological process. It happened early in this case. It is hard to say if the surgery would interfere with how the baby's teeth would grow in the future," he said.

他說道；“這是一個正常的生物學過程。只是這個嬰兒發生的比較早。目前還很難說這次手術是否會對這名嬰兒牙齒將來的發育造成影響。”
