What are Bohn nodules typically found on?

At the raphe of the hard palate
On either side of the dental ridges
On the floor of the mouth
On the soft palate

The correct answer is: On either side of the dental ridges

Bohn nodules are small, white or yellowish cyst-like lesions that are commonly found on the dental ridges in the mouth, particularly on the alveolar ridge, which is the bony ridge containing the sockets of the teeth. They are considered a normal anatomical variation and consist of small mucus retention cysts. These nodules are remnants of the dental lamina and can be present in newborns as they develop. Understanding the typical locations of Bohn nodules is essential for differentiating them from other lesions or pathologies that may arise in the oral cavity. Their presence is relatively common and usually does not require treatment unless they cause discomfort. Recognizing Bohn nodules at the correct location aids in ensuring accurate diagnoses in clinical practice.
