Bohn’s nodules are white elevations in the edentulous ridge of newborns representing true residual dental lamina remnants or a developing gingival cyst. Epstein pearls are epithelial rests also seen in newborns as white nodules but that arise in the midline of the palate from the fusion of the palatal and nasal processes. Small cysts may develop from these as well.
