ABSTRACT
Dental lamina cyst or alveolar cyst is a commonly diagnosed developmental anomaly in the mouth of newborns. They are quite often mistaken as natal teeth if present in the lower anterior region. Although the prevalence is high, they are rarely seen because of the transient nature of the lesions. They are self limiting and disappear spontaneously a few weeks or months after birth. Hence no treatment is required for such cases.
