Abstract
Children and teenagers with orthodontics may be affected by infectious, hereditary, traumatic, malignant, or idiopathic oral mucosa lesions. Orthodontists have to be able to detect, identify, and treat effectively or to address the patient to a specialist. Here we discuss this difference to make their diagnosis and management easier for the practitioner.
Highlights
The estimated prevalence of oral mucosal lesions is 8%–60% in the general population[1,8,17,2]
Mucosal pathologies related to orthodontic treatment have three major causes: traumatic, infectious, or reactive
Cases of nickel allergy are reported during orthodontic treatment
