Enamel hypomineralisation is a qualitative defect of the enamel resulting from a disturbance during initial calcification and/or maturation. 1,2 This condition in first permanent molars/incisors is known as molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH). 2 In the primary dentition, a similar presentation has been observed in the second primary molar, which is now termed hypomineralised second primary molars (HSPM). 2-4 HSPM is currently defined as

Historically, alveolar lymphangiomas have been reported exclusively in the oral cavities of black infants.
