Abstract

This report concerned two cases (1-month-old and 11-month-old girls) of Riga-Fede's disease.<BR>Riga-Fede's disease is well-known to have an ulceration at the sublingual surface in infants. It is caused by mechanical stimulation of natal and neonatal teeth. In many clinics smoothing incisal edge and tooth extraction was usually performed to remove this stimulation. However, primary dentition and occulusion would be influenced by extraction of an anterior deciduous teeth. And it would occur that a false pulp exposure of the hypoplastic natal and neonatal teeth by discing.<BR>In the present case, we treated with composite resin coverage of the incisal edges. After four weeks the ulcer completely disappeared. This treatment method seems to be a very simple, effective and conservative approach for Riga-Fede's disease.
