Abstract :
The lesions presenting in the oral cavity of neonates are considerably significant in pediatric dentistry. Although they pertain to the oral cavity they may reflect an underlying systemic condition. These may be clinically misdiagnosed or left untreated owing to lack of parental education, awareness and resources. Their managementrequires thorough knowledge of the various lesions and accurate clinical assessment for diagnosis, prognosis, reatment and parental counselling. Majority lesions are asymptomatic and benign hence resolve without any intervention. This review article is an overview for recognition and management of oral lesions prevalent in neonates.
