Abstract

Pediatric oral pathology deals with the conditions causing or resulting from morbid anatomic or functional changes in the structures of the mouth in the pediatrics. Children and adolescents exhibit a wide spectrum of oral lesions including hard and soft tissue lesions of the oral maxillofacial region. Oral pathoses in children are often missed since obtaining detailed history and performing thorough clinical examination and more difficult in comparison with an adult. Oral lesions in children include mucosal conditions, developmental anomalies, neoplastic, reactive or inflammatory lesions. Thus this review article provides a brief note on the oral lesions commonly dealt with pediatric patients.
