“…However, the diagnosis in cases such as this one constitutes a challenge due to the similar clinical characteristics found among hyperplastic growths. For instance, giant cell granuloma and pyogenic granuloma are part of the differential diagnosis with inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia [1,4,[8][9][10][11]. Despite the importance of a biopsy, between 7,4% and 17% of specimens were from a paediatric population [5,6].…”

This paper aims to describe an inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia case caused by chronic irritation due to poor dental positioning after trauma. An 11-year-old female patient was sent to a dental specialty center with the complaint of a soft tissue growth in the place of an unerupted maxillary central incisor, causing her behavioral changes becoming more timid. After anamnesis and clinical examination it was noted that tooth 11 was in a vestibular position, covered with a hyperplastic lesion. Surgical treatment was performed and the histopathological exam revealed inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia. Over the course of the follow-up appointments, it was possible to observe improvement on the mentioned tooth and the patient’s satisfaction. In face of the low prevalence of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, it is worth mentioning that the tooth positioning, outside its correct alignment in the arch, can cause repeated trauma to the mucosa, and then turning into etiological factor to inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, affecting even children and adolescents. Thus, the dentistry must be alert to establish a diagnosis and clinical treatment, in addition to monitoring these cases.

“…In general, these congenital oral malformations are small, asymptomatic, transient in nature, yellowish-white in color and vary in size and thickness (2,4,5) . As for histology, they are usually covered by three layers of paved epithelium and filled with keratin (1,2,(4)(5)(6) . In addition, it is known that the presence of these cysts in the oral mucosa does not compromise breastfeeding, nor causes discomfort to the child.…”

INTRODUCTION: Epstein's pearls and Bohn's nodules are characterized as inclusion cysts of the newborn, resulting from epithelial remnants that were trapped during the fusion of palatal processes. They are asymptomatic and transient cystic lesions and, therefore, do not require treatment by means of drugs or surgical intervention. This issue is problematic, since dental or pediatric professionals find it difficult to accurately identify and diagnose the cyst, failing to inform parents who are often distressed to realize the pathology. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrative literature review to analyze whether, in fact, Bohn's nodules and Epstein pearls are the most common congenital oral lesions in newborns. METHODOLOGY: Articles indexed in SciELO, PubMed / Medline and Lilacs. The keywords used were: Epstein's pearls, Bohn's nodules, newborn, prevalence, palatine cysts, gingival cysts. As inclusion criteria, complete articles published in the last 10 years, in the Portuguese and English languages and that answered the research question. We found 23 articles and after applying the inclusion criteria, we selected 17 articles, 9 of which formed the present abstract, using them to explore the content. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Epstein's pearls and Bohn's nodules appeared in the literature as high frequency oral abnormalities among newborns. The data obtained in the base articles took age, location and gender as criteria, with differences between their percentages. Despite this dissonance, research has always resulted in about 50% more cases, compared to other congenital oral abnormalities. Thus, there is a comparative table between the studies that shows the results more easily in order to make explicit the prevalence of these cystic oral lesions. No evidence was found on causes related to these pathologies, only embryological origin, and further research is needed. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings, it is noticeable the prevalence of Epstein Pearls and Bohn's Nodes, given the high frequency of these inclusion cysts in the clinical routine. Given this, the present literature review brings the necessary keys to clarify the predominance of these congenital oral anomalies so that it is possible to set up an accurate diagnosis and clarification of parents.

“…Outra doença bucal altamente prevalente em crianças é a gengivite, 4 sendo o acúmulo de biofilme dental o principal fator de risco para o seu desenvolvimento. 5 Uma vez que a gengivite é diagnosticada em crianças, precisa ser tratada, visto que além de ser um sítio de inflamação, pode representar um risco para o desenvolvimento da periodontite quando tais indivíduos se tornam adultos.…”
