ABSTRACT
Riga Fede disease is a reactive mucosal disease as a result of repetitive trauma of the tongue by the anterior primary teeth during forward and backward movement. Although the aspect of the lesion might be impressive, its nature is relatively benign. Natal and neonatal teeth have been reported to cause ulceration on the ventral surface of the tongue in neonates and infants. This appearance was described by Riga and Fede and hence being termed as Riga-Fede disease. It is important to diagnose the lesion early and treat it by eliminating the cause of trauma to avoid untoward complications. This literature aims the pediatrician to recognize this entity and to prevent unnecessary invasive procedures.
Key-words: Natal, neonatal teeth, oral ulcer, tong diseases, Riga's disease.
