Newborn with mass on the upper anterior region, what is ur diagnosis:
a. Congenital epulis of the newborn.***
b. Lamina dura cyst
c. Bohn‘s nodules (Dental lamina cyst of new born)
Epstein’s pearls may be found on the mid-palatal raphe of the hard palate.
Which occur along the mid palatine raphe at junction of soft and hard palate
Bohn’s nodules remnants of salivary glands are located on the buccal or lingual mucosa, or on the hard palate, away from the raphe.
(Dental lamina cyst of newborn) small nodules or cyst in the gingival due to proliferation of rest of serres. Buccal and lingual aspect of dental ridge is remnant of mucous gland located on the crests of the alveolar ridges.
Congenital Epulis of the newborn similar in appearance to a dental lamina cyst
