Dental Lamina Cyst in a Newborn Infant -A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Dental lamina cyst, also known as gingival cyst of the newborn is a benign oral mucosal lesion of transient nature present at birth. Although prevalence is high, they are rarely seen because of the transient nature of the lesion. This cyst arises from the developing dental tissue or from their remnants. It may be incorrectly diagnosed as natal teeth if present in mandibuar anterior region. The lesion is self-limiting and spontaneously shed few weeks or months after birth. Here, we present a rare case of a single lesion of dental lamina cyst of a new born infant. Keywords: Dental lamina cyst, Newborn, Benign
