Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Among the benign lesions involving the oral cavity, mucocele is a common lesion of the oral mucosa that results from an alteration of minor salivary glands due to a mucous accumulation. Mucocele involves mucin accumulation causing limited swelling. Mucoceles can appear at any site of the oral mucosa where minor salivary glands are present. Diagnosis is principally clinical; therefore, the anamnesis should be carried out correctly, looking for previous trauma. Treatment frequently involves surgical removal. Nevertheless micro marsupialization, cryosurgery, steroid injections and CO2 laser are also described. Micro marsupialization being a non-invasive option to treat mucoceles in pediatric dentistry owing to its simplicity, fewer complications involved and as well that it's well-tolerated by patients. Presented here is the case with mucocele of lower lip in a 5 year old girl treated with micro-marsupialization a minimal invasive technique with complete healing of the lesion in 18months without recurrence.
