This study aimed to discuss some inborn and acquired changes in the oral cavity in young children under three years of age. Based on current literature, eruption cyst, Riga-Fede disease, natal and neonatal teeth, congenital epulis, Epstein pearls, Bohn’s nodules, and gingival cyst of the newborns have been described. The symptoms, clinical presentation, and histological features of these changes, their epidemiology, prevalence, etiopathogenesis, differential diagnosis, and management were taken into consideration to present them accurately. Described oral normal findings and anomalies are not very common, so they require precise diagnosis and management properly. Having relevant knowledge on issues is important both for the pediatricians and pediatric dentists who always cooperate to distinguish the pathology or anomaly and start dealing with it. To our knowledge, this is the first literature review presenting comprehensive and thorough specification of abnormalities occurring in children’s mouth, basing on the most recent scientific literature between 1999 and 2022.

Riga-Fede Syndrome : A Rare Case Report With Literature Review

Riga-Fede syndrome is characterised as an ulcerative lesion that originates on the ventral surface of a neonate’s tongue due to vigorous back and forth movements of the tongue over the precociously erupted mandibular anterior teeth. This condition has been receiving discernible attention as a progressing condition with escalating case reports over the years. The aetiology of this issue is not precisely deduced; however, there have been multiple treatment options discovered that have secured success with higher precision. The purpose of this research paper is to exhibit various case reports and aetiologies responsible for this disease, as well as an explanation of different treatment plans depending on the status of the tooth, that is, the mobility of the tooth and the precarious chances of aspiration. Moreover, radiographic study to visualise if it is a supernumerary or a primary regular tooth and if it is associated with hindrance in breast-feeding causing soft tissue injuries and the state of the child’s health. A 28-day-old female infant was presented to the oral pathology clinic with a natal tooth exhibiting grade 2 mobility along with a lesion on the ventral surface of the tongue, leading to the clinical diagnosis of Riga-Fede disease. The treatment performed, consisting of the extraction of natal teeth, was selected as the treatment of choice over more conservative treatments for the rapid resolution of the lesion and the limited risk of inadequate nutrient intake since the tooth was interfering with the feeding process. Following the extraction of the tooth, it underwent microscopic studies to identify diverse changes associated with the erupted tooth. There was regular monitoring of the patient, and complete wound healing was observed after 4 weeks. The proposed treatment was successful, and the patient is still in follow-up without recurrence of the lesion after one year. This paper presents a concise review of the literature about neonatal teeth and their role in Riga-Fede disease.

Relevance. Riga-Fede disease (RFD) is a rare pathology that develops as a result of trauma to the mucous membrane of the tongue ventral surface with sharp edges of natal, neonatal or primary teeth erupting in time and manifests in the form of erosion or sublingual fibrous lesion with an ulcerated surface.Purpose. To analyze the literature and present our own RFD clinical cases.Material and methods. A search was performed of articles published in 2001-2023 on the research topic in the main scientific literature databases (PubMed, E-library, Google Scholar, etc.). We analyzed the data from 68 publications and presented three of our own clinical cases of RFD in children aged 5, 6 and 9 months.Results. Analysis of literature data revealed different approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of RFD in children. The diagnosis of RFD should rely on the clinical picture and exclude additional trauma to children by histological examination and lesion excision. Pronounced tooth mobility, ineffective infant feeding and the presence of neurological diseases in patients were the main indications for the extraction of teeth, which caused RFD development. In the absence of tooth mobility, non-surgical treatment methods should be preferable. In the presented clinical cases, erupted primary teeth caused BRF. In two cases, the treatment consisted of smoothing the sharp edges of the teeth and restoration with glass ionomer cement; in one case, a child with a neurological disease experienced extraction of lower central incisors. In all cases, recovery was within 3-4 weeks.Conclusion. Once clinically diagnosed with RFD, treatment method choice should consider tooth mobility and the child's overall health.
