- what shape
- what colour
- usually bilateral
- asymptomatic

- pink (normal gingiva colour) to red papule
where are retrocuspid papillae located
located on the attached lingual gingiva of mandibular canine
how to dx retrocuspid papillae and what is the treatment
dx is usually clinical,
no tx needed as it resolves spontaneously with age
what are the features of fordyce granules
sebaceous glands that present as multiple, small, yellow, papules
location of fordyce granules
where is the most common?
most common on buccal mucosal and lateral portion of the vermillion border of the upper lip
other locations:
- retromolar areas
- anterior tonsillar pillar
who are fordyce granules more commonly seen in
seen more commonly in adults even though they are considered developmentl
how to dx and tx fordyce granules
- clinical dx
no tx
what are the 3 types of developmental oral cyst of the newborn
- Bohn nodules
- epstein pearls
- dental lamina cysts
where are Bohn nodules found in the mouth, and what is the origin?
Location: junction of the hard and soft palate or on the vestibular region (rare)
Origin: epithelial remnants of minor salivary glands
where are Epstein pearls found in the mouth, and what is the origin?
location: mid palatal raphe
origin: epithelium entrapment between the palatal shelves
where are dental lamina cysts found in the mouth, and what is the origin?
is there tx?
location: crest of the alveolar ridge
origin: odontogenic in origin and arise from the cell rests of Serres
no tx needed, spontaneously resolve
what are eruption cysts and their origin
soft tissue variant of _______
origin: develop from the _____ of the ______ from the crown of the tooth
soft tissue variant of dentigerous cyst
origin: develop from the separation of the reduced enamel epithelium from the crown of the tooth
appearance of eruption cyst
- hard or soft?
- fluctuant or rigid?
- sessile or pedunculated?
- shape
- translucent swelling overlying ____
- swelling may appear ________ when it is filled with ____
- soft
- fluctuant
- sessile
- dome shaped
- translucent swelling overlying erupting tooth
- swelling may appear blue/ blue black when it is filled with blood
how to diagnose eruption cyst
- clinical
- radiographs are generally not needed because its in soft tissue
what is the tx of eruption cyst
- if px is pain, do what?
- the thing naturally marsupializes as _________?
- symptomatic tx: ______
- if px is pain, can cut a slit to relieve pressure, let fluid come out
- the thing naturally marsupializes as the tooth erupts through the gingiva
- symptomatic tx: simple removal of roof of cyst
what is the other name of congenital granular cell tumour

- can be sessile or pedunculated
- round
- mucosa coloured
where is the most common location for congenital epulis
anterior maxillary alveolar ridge
how to diagnose congenital epulis?
- clinical appearance
- histology
resembles granular cell tumour but does not display a strong reactivity to s100 protein
what histo resembles granular cell tumour but dont display a strong reactivity to s100 protein
congenital epulis
what is the tx for congenital epulis
surgical excision
reccurence is unlikely even when the removal is incomplete
what age group does melanotic neuroectodermal tumour affect?
