Abstract
Mucoceles of the glands of Blandin and Nuhn are uncommon and mainly seen on the ventral surface of the tongue. This case report emphasizes the treatment approach of these mucoceles. This patient reported with a second recurrence following conventional treatment, so a novel method was tried by injecting an ultraflow rubber base impression material into the mucocele, after which a surgical excision was done. The present procedure showed a clear demarcated limit of the lesion making the surgical excision easier.
