It is a reactive traumatic mucosal disease characterized by persistent oral mucosal ulcerations. They are frequently associated with erupted natal, neonatal, and deciduous lower incisors. This article describes the case of a one-month-old female newborn with a severe traumatic ulceration on the ventral surface of the tongue. The newborn teeth were extracted to make the procedure less traumatic and to allow for recovery.
