Abstract
The soft tissue cystic lesions are often present in the oral cavity of neonates and sucklings and can create diagnostic hesitations and apprehension and anxiety among parents. The soft tissue cystic lesions are often misdiagnosed or left untreated due to lack of experience and knowledge of neonatologists, paediatricians and dentists that are focused to pathological lesions on oral cavity of neonates and sucklings.
The majority of oral cystic lesions is asymptomatic and commonly resolve without any interventions. However, precise clinical examination of oral cavity and knowledge of clinical symptoms of these lesions are essential for early and exact diagnosis, management and parental counselling.
