What is the term for a gingival cyst of a newborn found on the midline palate?

  1. Epstein's pearls

  2. Bohn's nodules

  3. Gorlin cyst

  4. Radicular cyst

The correct answer is: Epstein's pearls

Epstein's pearls are small, white or yellow cysts that may appear on the gum line or the roof of the mouth in newborns. They are considered benign and do not require treatment. Bohn's nodules are also small, white cysts that can appear on the gums or palate of newborns, but they are not found on the midline and are more common on the sides of the mouth. Gorlin cysts, also known as keratocysts, are not typically found in newborns and can occur in adults as a result of a genetic condition. Radicular cysts are typically found in adults and are formed by the epithelium along the root of a tooth. They are not associated with newborns and do not typically occur on the palate.
