Background and Aim. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common oral mucosal disorder characterized by recurrent, painful oral aphthae. Despite extensive research, the exact etiology of RAS remains elusive. Recently oxidant-antioxidant imbalance of the body has been implicated in the pathogenesis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Thus, the aim of the study was to evaluate the enzymatic anti...

microbial factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras). because of similarities in the characteristics of peptic ulcers and oral aphthous ulcers, it seems reasonable to hypothesize that helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) could play a role in the development of ras. the aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between h. pylori and ras using...

Background: The current treatments of recurrent aphthous stomatitis are not very effective and are not justified for long term using due to their potential side effects. Objective: To compare the efficacy of topical sucralfate mouthwash with topical tetracycline mouthwash in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Patients and Methods: In a randomized matched clinical trial, 60 patients with recur...

Attempts were made to demonstrate herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 and type 2, varicella zoster virus (VZV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in specimens obtained from aphthous ulceration lesions by the immunofluorescent method using fluorescein-labeled monoclonal antibodies. HSV-1 and VZV were detected in 2 and 4 out of 30 patients, respectively. Although almost all viruses that can infect the oral ...

Nowadays, etiopathogenesis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis is not fully understood. Chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, diseases associated with H. Pylori, often attend this oral pathology. It is acknowledged, that H. Pylori is a conditional-pathogenic microbe which is included in normal mucosalflora of the gastrointestinal tract and oral cavity. Oral cavity appears to be a seconda...

background and aims: recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is one of the most common ulcerative diseases of the oral mucosa. definitive etiology of ras has not been conclusively established. there is no certain treatment for aphthous but some drugs such as steroid are commonly used for treatment of ras. regarding the effect of zinc on healing process of epithelial layer and cell division, in this...

recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is the most common and painful oral inflammatory lesion with an unknown etiology. this study aims to determine the therapeutic effects of ibuprofen, diphenhydramine and aluminum magnesium simethicone (almgs) syrup on reducing oral aphthous ulcer pain.thirty-one patients with ras participated in this double-blind clinical trial. subjects were randomly divided ...
