Abstract

This chapter describes normal variations of the oral cavity including linea alba, morsicatio, imprints, Fordyce granules, leukoedema, physiological pigmentation, torus, varices, and retrocuspid papilla. In addition, reactive fibroma, leukoplakia and aphthae are mentioned due to their high prevalence and benign nature. In suspicious cases of leukoplakia, malignancy needs to be excluded by histopathology.
