Abstract
Oral papilloma occurs relatively commonly intra-orally in pediatric patients who are usually unaware of their presence because this lesion is usually single, asymptomatic and small. The aim of the present study is to describe the clinical and histological appearance of this lesion and provide subside to help the general or pediatric dentist on diagnosis and treatment of this tumor.References
