Oral mucocele a case report
Öz
Mucocele is a commonly occurring pathology in the oral cavity and especially found on labial mucosa. It is commonly seen in the younger population peaking in the 10–20-year age group. In most cases the patient will give a positive history of recent trauma caused due to lip biting. The clinical picture will be of a soft, clear swelling with a bluish color. The size can vary from a few mm to few centimeters at times. A diagnosis can be reached many times just on the basis of a proper history and the clinical features alone. This report depicts the successful management of a case of mucocele which in turn would assist the dental practitioner for diagnosing and managing this condition.
