“…The armamentarium for JABD treatment is similar, to some extent, to that of AABD (table 4) [67,68,69,70]. The most frequently prescribed systemic therapy in East/South Asian JABD patients is corticosteroids (42.2%), followed by cyclophosphamide (20.0%), methotrexate (18.9%), colchicine (13.3%), azathioprine (8.9%), cyclosporine A (8.1%) and interferon-α (1.5%) [71].…”

Adamantiades-Behçet disease (ABD) is a chronic, multisystemic, recurrent, inflammatory vascular disorder of unknown etiology. Patients with symptoms initially appearing at the age of 16 or less are considered as cases of juvenile-onset ABD (JABD). JABD is relatively rare compared to ABD of adults, and only case reports and case studies have been published regarding this subtype of the disease. Epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of JABD are discussed in this review.

“…In a preliminary study with 3 patients, complete remission of recurrent oral aphthous ulcers was achieved with nicotine gum (e15) (EL 4). Neither cyclosporine (70 mg/g oral paste) nor interferon-α-2c gel was effective in treating oral aphthous ulcers (14).…”

“…The number of lesions and the intervals between recurrences appear to be reduced during periods when the patient is smoking versus abstaining from tobacco (28, e14). Experimental evidence indicates that nicotine has an anti-inflammatory effect on keratinocytes (6,14). Nicotine patches apparently cannot achieve the effects of tobacco smoke (own unpublished data).…”

The treatment of chronic recurrent oral aphthous ulcers is symptomatic, mainly with topically applied agents. It is tailored to the severity of the problem in the individual case, i.e., the frequency of ulcers, the intensity of pain, and the responsiveness of the lesions to treatment. Effective treatment relieves pain, lessens functional impairment, and lowers the frequency and severity of recurrences.

“…Dental care products containing sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) should not be used. The recovery period and pain in oral aphthous ulcers can be decreased substantially by using toothpastes not containing SLS [31]. When there is no specific underlying reason, the aim of medical treatment is to reduce pain and inflammation.…”

Cigarette smoking is the foremost health risk issue affecting individuals of all age groups globally. It is the most important causes of the preventable deaths and diseases. Aware of these facts many smokers wish to quit. However smoking cessation is though for smokers who experiences many unpleasant and troublesome physiological or psychological problems. After cessation oral ulcers and other oral aphtous lesions which are considered as mild and expected to disappear in time, can be seen. These problems are attributed with either nicotine withdrawal or nicotine replacement therapy. Recurrent oral aphtous stomatitis however can be very severe and diminish quality of life even some years after cessation. There are growing epidemiologic evidences for the effects of tobacco use and tobacco cessation therapy on a variety of oral diseases and conditions. In this case report we would like to introduce an ex-smoker patient who had severe recurrent aphtous stomatitis attacks for three years after he had quitted and the current data about the management of oral ulcers and aphtous stomatitis.
