These lesions include fissured and geographic tongue, Fordyce’s granules and leukoedema. Study aims: to investigate the prevalence of some developmental oral mucosal lesions among dental patients wearing dentures who were attending college of dentistry clinics in Aljouf University, and specialized dental center of ministry of health. Methods and subjects: a retrospective design was conducted to collect data from 344 wearing denture dental patients who were attending college of dentistry clinics in Aljouf University, and specialized dental center of ministry of health. A working excel sheet was created for patients and included data related to personal information such as age and gender; and oral developmental lesions. The software SPSS version 20 was used to analyze data. Statistical tests including frequency, percentages, and One way Anova were used to describe data.

The process of clinical diagnosis and treatment planning is of great concern to the patient as it determines the nature of future follow up care. There is a strong need for a rational and functional classification which will enable better understanding of the basic disease process, as well as in formulating a differential diagnosis. Clinical diagnostic skills and good judgment forms the key to successful management of yellow lesions of the oral cavity.

Received: 7 May 2019; Accepted: 10 June 2019; Published: 13 June 2019 Abstract: Pseudolesions are defined as physiological or paraphysiological changes of the oral normal anatomy that can easily be misdiagnosed for pathological conditions such as potentially malignant lesions, infective and immune diseases, or neoplasms. Pseudolesions do not require treatment and a surgical or pharmacological approach can constitute an overtreatment indeed. This review aims to describe the most common pseudolesions of oral soft tissues, their possible differential diagnosis and eventual related systemic diseases or syndromes. The pseudolesions frequently observed in clinical practice and reported in literature include Fordyce granules, leukoedema, geographic tongue, fissured tongue, sublingual varices, lingual fimbriae, vallate papillae, white and black hairy tongue, Steno’s duct hypertrophy, lingual tonsil, white sponge nevus, racial gingival pigmentation, lingual thyroid, and eruptive cyst.
