Intrauterine fetal hypoxia is quite common, which can be both acute and chronic condition. The causes of hypoxia are quite extensive. In turn, this state of the fetus affects the laying and development of tissues, including temporary and permanent teeth. In this review we consider the types of intrauterine hypoxia, pathological processes that develop in the body as a whole and locally. Hard tissues of the teeth begin to be laid, develop and Mature, starting from the 6th week of intrauterine development and in the subsequent period of pregnancy corresponds to the period of formation of teeth. Manifestations of anomalies of enamel, dentin and cement are fully detected in children under 3 years of age and older. Careful collection of history of pregnancy, in conjunction with the detected anomalies of hard tissues of the teeth are able to establish the timing of intrauterine hypoxia and determine the degree of its impact on the development of teeth.
