Abstract
ABSTRACTThe natal and neonatal teeth have been reported to cause ulceration on the ventral surface of the tongue in neonates and infants. These can be presented with mild to severe ulceration which may affect the child's feeding habits. This appearance was described by Cardarelli, Riga and Fede and hence been termed as Cardarelli-Riga-Fede disease. It is important to diagnose the lesion early and treat it by eliminating the cause of trauma to avoid untoward complications. We present a large Riga-Fede lesion in an infant along with the clinical management. The purpose of this report is to review the literature related to neonatal teeth epidemiology and discuss their possible etiology and treatment.How to cite this articlePatil SD, Dixit UB.
