Abstract

Riga Fede disease is defined as traumatic ulcerations on the ventral surface of the tongue in infants and neonates and most commonly occurs due to natal, neonatal teeth or erupting deciduous mandibular central incisors. The occurrence of natal or neonatal teeth is also a rare occurrence. This article represents a reported case of Riga Fede disease associated with a neonatal tooth in a 10 weeks old patient and its non-invasive management.
