ABSTRACT
Traumatic ulceration of the ventral surface of the tongue is an uncommon condition in infants and toddlers, which is often associated with natal and neonatal teeth in newborns. The aim of this report is to present a case of bilateral ulcerative ulcers on the ventral surface of the tongue caused by the eruption of first primary mandibular molars in a 14-month-old male child. The child was able to point to the lesions and also refused to consume certain beverages and foods, which favored an early diagnosis. Clinical treatment consisted of manual smoothing of the sharp edges of both mandibular first molars and a home regimen of lidocaine hydrochloride solution (Xylocaine®, Astra) and a steroid solution of triamcinolone acetonide (Omcilon ­ A, Brystol-Myers) for symptoms relief and lesion healing, respectively. Complete healing of both lesions and normal feeding were both observed at a one-week follow-up exam. Early detection of the lesions and parental compliance with recommended home regimens were key factors for a successful treatment outcome, since untreated cases of tongue ulcerative lesions may evoke feeding difficulties and failure to thrive. Although there are several reports of ulcerative lesions on the tongue caused by dental eruption, they are usually associated with the eruption of mandibular primary incisors (Riga-Fede disease). However, there are no reports of ulcerative lesions caused by other primary teeth.
RESUMEN
La ulceración traumática de la superficie ventral de la lengua es una condición poco común en bebés y niños pequeños, la cual se asocia a menudo con los dientes natales y neonatales en los recién nacidos. El objetivo de este reporte es presentar un caso de úlceras bilaterales en la superficie ventral de la lengua causada por la erupción de los primeros molares mandibulares temporales en un infante de sexo masculino de 14 meses de edad. En niño fue capaz de señalar las lesiones y se negó a consumir ciertas bebidas y alimentos, lo que favoreció un diagnóstico precoz. El tratamiento clínico consistió en el suavizado manual de los bordes afilados de los primeros molares inferiores y un régimen casero de solución de clorhidrato de lidocaína (Xilocaína®, Astra) junto a la solución esteroidal de acetónido de triamcinolona (Omcilon - A, Brystol-Myers) para el alivio de los síntomas y curación de la lesión respectivamente. La curación completa de ambas lesiones y la alimentación normal se observó en una semana del control de seguimiento. La detección temprana de las lesiones y el cumplimiento de los padres con los regímenes caseros recomendados, son factores claves para un resultado exitoso del tratamiento, ya que los casos no tratados de estas lesiones ulcerosas pueden provocar dificultades en la alimentación y una evolución inadecuada. Aunque existen varios informes de lesiones ulcerosas en la lengua causada por la erupción dental, que se asocian generalmente con la erupción de los incisivos mandibulares temporales (enfermedad de Riga-Fede). Sin embargo, no existen informes de lesiones ulcerosas causadas por otros dientes temporales.
