Zusammenfassung:Dentistry for babies aims to contribute to the formation of a generation with fewer dental problems, higher quality of oral health and more aware of the importance of prevention. The congenital gingival granular cell tumour (CGCT) is a rare benign soft tissue tumour in the newborn that can lead to respiratory difficulties and feeding. The aim of this work was to report two cases of CGCT in babies and discuss the clinical and histological differential diagnosis and their treatment, as well as the importance of knowledge of this pathology for dentists. Clinical features and treatment approaches are presented and discussed. The surgical approach improved the child quality of life and restored the parent's confidence and emotional stability. Knowledge of this pathology helps in better diagnosis and treatment, which lead to a better quality of life of children and return confidence and emotional stability to parents.
