Aphthous ulcers--a review of the literature on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment



JW Antoon and RL Miller

Recurrent aphthous ulcerations are seen in everyday dental practice. These lesions may easily be misdiagnosed and mistreated. A comprehensive but nondefinitive review of the literature is presented in hope that the practitioner can better diagnose, evaluate, research, and treat RAS. Although many modalities of treatment have been advocated, a truly effective therapeutic regimen to prevent RAS does not yet seem available. Additional research on the ideology, pathogenesis, and treatment of RAS is, therefore, needed.
