[2025-10-01T22:20:30.441559] [PI reasoning] **Clarifying dental classifications**

I'm thinking about how classification helps distinguish between a gingival cyst in newborns and median palatal cysts, also known as Epstein pearls. It seems like they shouldn't be classified as gingival but rather as palatal. The exam might list Epstein pearls as a gingival cyst option, which could mislead. Different dental textbooks mention these terms interchangeably. For instance, Shafer's Textbook discusses that they're inclusion cysts found along the mid-palatal raphe and the alveolar ridge. This is quite nuanced!
