Riga fede disease with polydactyly: Diagnosis and management

The hallmark of Riga-Fede disease is a reactive traumatic lesion on the tongue's ventral surface, which manifests in early infancy. It happens as a result of the tongue raking over the newly erupted primary, neonatal, or natal mandibular incisors. Growth retardation and nutritional deficits result from the lesion's discomfort during feeding practices. A conservative approach or extraction that encourages healing is part of the management. Although there have been some case reports in the literature, polydactyly and Riga-Fede illness are rarely linked. Pediatric dentists place a high priority on natal and neonatal teeth because of the potential for several issues. In order to preserve the shape and functionality of a child's primary dentition, Riga-Fede disease must be managed. This case report describes the relationship between polydactyly and Riga-Fede disease in a male kid who was 2.5 months old, as well as the treatment strategy for the condition.
