Hutchinson's teeth

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

Hutchinson’s teeth (also known as Hutchinson’s incisor, Hutchinson’s sign or Hutchinson-Boeck teeth) are a sign of congenital syphilis. Babies with this have teeth that are smaller and more widely spaced than normal and which have notches on their biting surfaces.

Hutchinson’s teeth form part of Hutchinson’s triad.

It is named after Sir Jonathan Hutchinson, an English surgeon and pathologist, who first described them.
