Sublingual traumatic ulceration (a Riga-Fede disease): report of two cases.
Sublingual traumatic ulceration is rare and a benign, ulcerative and granulomatous process that occurs as a result of repetitive trauma of the oral mucosal surfaces by the teeth. Treatment should begin conservatively and should focus on eliminating the source of the trauma. In our cases, we chose the conservative treatment by grinding the teeth and placing composite resin over the offending teeth and applied orabase. At the follow-up, we confirmed that the lesion was resolved and infant was feeding normally.
