Abstract
Neonatal sublingual traumatic ulcerations (Riga-Fede disease) can present as mild to severe ulcerations. The associated pain can interfere with infant nursing and nutrition. The preferred, conservative treatment consists of smoothing rough incisal edges, or placing round smooth composites over the incisal edges. Acute ulcerations, and a need for definite, rapid healing, may require extraction of the neonatal teeth.Entities:
