Management of Riga-Fede disease: a case report

The treatment of a case of traumatic ulceration of the tongue (Riga-Fede disease) is described. A 12 month-old female patient, with cerebral palsy, presented with a widespread non-cicatrised yellowishwhite ulcer on the ventral surface of the tongue, which was causing pain and refusal to eat. A very conservative approach was adopted, based on the use of an acrylic lower mouth guard, the smoothing of the incisal edges of the lower incisors, and the topical application of an obtundant gel. Key words: Riga-Fede disease, cerebral palsy, oral health
