“…Disease-related factors and self-reported dietary/non-dietary triggering factors for oral ulcer activity were included in the questionnaire. The questions regarding dietary and non-dietary factors were based on a similar previous study ( 18 ). In addition, oral-health-related questions regarding the oral hygiene application and the last dental visit pattern were also added into the questionnaire.…”

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the contributing factors for oral ulcer activity in Behçet’s disease (BD).MethodsNinety-two patients with BD (F/M: 42/50, mean age: 38.7±10.02 years) participated in this cross-sectional study. Data regarding disease-related factors, smoking patterns, and self-reported dietary/non-dietary triggering factors for oral ulcer activity were collected by a questionnaire. Treatment protocol was categorized as mild and intensive groups associated with organ involvements.ResultsA mild treatment protocol was more common in females (52.4% vs 20%) than in males (p=0.002). During the last three months, the number of oral ulcers in female patients was higher in the mild treatment group (6.4±6.5) than in the intensive treatment group (3.3±4.9) (p=0.045). In patients with active oral ulcers (n=63), rate of being a non-smoker was also higher in females (86.7% vs 63.6%) than in males. Daily frequency of tooth brushing was 1.2±0.8 in patients with BD, and was higher in females (1.5±0.9 vs 0.9±0.6) (p=0.001). Stress and fatigue (78.3%) were reported as the most frequent triggering factors for oral ulcer presence in patients with BD. A total of 148 different dietary factors associated with oral ulcer presence were reported in the study.ConclusionA mild treatment protocol and being a non-smoker were found to be the contributing factors associated with oral ulcer activity in patients with BD. Being motivated for oral hygiene and being non-smokers were positive health behaviors observed in females. Irrespective of gender, stress and fatigue were defined as the most common self-reported triggering factors for oral ulcer presence in BD. In addition, the roles of some dietary factors were also reported.

“…Some environmental factors such as mechanical factors, smoking patterns, and fatigue may affect the presence of oral ulcers ( 18 ). Some foods with acidic, salty, spicy, and hard nutrients might also easily irritate oral mucosa to form oral ulcers ( 19 – 21 ).…”

“…Two main studies have investigated the role of both dietary and non-dietary triggering factors in BS [20,21]. Stress and fatigue have been independently reported by a French and a Turkish study as a common self-triggering factor for most BS patients [20,21]. Different foods have been correlated with the occurrence of oral ulcers (OU), possibly through an histamine-related irritative mechanism [20,21], together with oral and skin trauma [20,[22][23][24].…”

Different foods have been correlated with the occurrence of oral ulcers (OU), possibly through an histamine-related irritative mechanism [20,21], together with oral and skin trauma [20,[22][23][24]. On the other hand, smoking habit seems to be protective for OU development [25,26].…”
