Educational Objectives
The overall goal of this article is to provide the reader with information and scientific data on the topic of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. On completion of this course, the participant will be able to do the following:
- List and describe the different types of recurrent aphthous ulcers.
- Differentiate between recurrent aphthous ulcers and herpes simplex ulcers.
- List and consider the different types of ulcers and associated conditions that must be part of the differential diagnosis for recurrent aphthous ulcers.
- Provide an overview of the types of treatments available for the different categories of recurrent aphthous ulcer patients.
Abstract
Recurrent aphthous ulcers are commonly found in the general population. They consist of minor, major, and herpetiform types. A number of factors are considered to be possible etiological factors for recurrent aphthous ulcers; however, their exact etiology remains unclear. Several systemic diseases and conditions associated with oral ulcerations and other causes of oral ulcerations must be considered during the differential diagnosis. Once a definitive diagnosis for recurrent aphthous ulceration has been made, the patient can be given palliative care for the lesions as well as advice and recommendations on nutrition, oral hygiene practices, and other factors that may be associated with his or her recurrent aphthous ulcers.
