“…Oral mucosal lesions are common in newborns and tend to disappear over time without the need for treatment 26 . We found a high prevalence of oral mucosal lesions, in accordance with the prevalences reported in literature, which can vary between 21% 27 and 91.2% 28 . However, we did not find an association between oral mucosal lesions and smoking habits.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of active and passive smoking during pregnancy and its association with sociodemographic indicators, as well as perinatal and postnatal outcomes in newborns. Methods: This cross-sectional study was comprised of 431 pairs of mothers/ newborns. The study variables were: preterm birth, birth weight, oral mucosal lesions, sociodemographic indicators and smoking data. We collected data from medical records and through a self-administered questionnaire answered by mothers. A pediatric dentist examined the newborns for oral mucosal lesions. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between active and passive smoking and the other variables (α=5%). Results: The prevalence of active (9.5%) and passive smoking (4.2%) during pregnancy was low. Active smoking was statistically associated with low birth weight (OR: 2.4; 95%CI:1.1-5.3), lower schooling level (OR: 0.2; 95%CI:0.1-0.5) and mothers aged ≥36 years old (OR: 4.9; 95%CI:1.2-20.0). Passive smoking was not statistically associated with the other variables. There was no association between active or passive smoking during pregnancy and premature birth and oral lesions of the newborn. Conclusions: The prevalence of active and passive smoking were low. Active smoking was associated with low birth weight, maternal age and mother's schooling, suggesting a social influence of smoking behavior among a population with a lower educational level. There was no association between active and passive smoking and prematurity and oral lesions of the newborn

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.

“…In a study by Perez-Aguirre et al in 2018, it was found that the consumption of folic acid during pregnancy significantly increased the prevalence of Bohn's nodule, and so did tobacco used during pregnancy. 11 However, this case's specific etiology is still unknown; there are no known references or clinical reports in babies after three-months-old.…”

Bohn's nodule is a soft white cyst filled with keratin and is often found in a newborn's oral cavity. This case has a high prevalence in newborns and is rarely seen in infants after three months.In this case, we report our observation and evaluation of a Bohn's nodule case in a seven-month-old male infant. Clinical diagnosis of the conditions is vital to avoid unnecessary therapeutic procedures and provide timely information for parents to manage the lesion.
