Dentistry and Oral Health

Abstract

Intraoral anomalies encompass an imperative arena of the Paediatric specialty, but still many of them are left untreated or even misdiagnosed because of lack of reporting, limited knowledge and restricted expertise. A major part of such oral diseases manifest as oral features in the neonates that often creates a state of anxiety and apprehension among the parents. For timely management of such lesions, a precise diagnosis is required that is based on a thorough clinical, histopathological and radiographical examinations. The lecture aims at enlisting and describing the diagnostic characteristics of commonly encountered oral lesions in neonates.
