“…It has been reported that its prevalence ranges from 5% to 60% of the population. 1 , 10 In this present research, its prevalence was of 1.4% during a period of 11 years, which is lower than what is reported in the literature. This fact may suggest that many people affected by this condition do not seek odontological care for the diagnosis and treatment, since they have a short and self-limited clinical course.…”

“…The most common clinical presentation, the minor form, is responsible for 70% to 85% of all RAS, characterized by circular, ovoid or elongated lesions with a crateriform base, measuring less than 1cm in diameter, covered by a white-gray pseudomembrane and with a resolution time of 10 to 14 days. 1 , 3 The number of ulcerations is also important and the minor RAS usually vary from one to five and usually do not cause scarring. 1 - 4 …”

BACKGROUNDRecurrent aphthous ulcerations are common benign ulcerated lesions on the mouth, whose etiology is poorly understood, with controversial treatment and difficult to control in clinical practice.OBJECTIVETo evaluate the cases of recurrent aphthous ulcerations with a focus on treatment, diagnosis and etiology.METHODSThis is a retrospective study of the cases of the Oral Diagnosis service of the Rio Grande do Norte Federal University in Natal/RN. Data such as sex, age, race, location, smoking habits, types of treatment, relapsing episodes, laboratory test results and clinical characteristics were collected. The associations between the variables were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-square test (p <0.05).RESULTSA total of 4895 patients were seen in the service over a period of 11 years. Of these, 161 (3.3%) had complaints of oral aphthous ulcerations, of which 76 (47.2%) were diagnosed as suffering from recurrent aphthous ulcerations and 68 (42.2%) with clinical information necessary for evaluation. The tongue was the most affected anatomical region, with 27 individuals (39.7%), followed by the buccal mucosa, with 22 cases (32.3%).STUDY LIMITATIONSRetrospective study with data from medical records.CONCLUSIONDental surgeons, dermatologists and otorhinolaryngologists are the main responsible for the first contact with patients with this disease and should be attentive to the clinical aspects and treat each patient in an individualized way, since the therapy is palliative, its diagnosis is by exclusion and its etiology is unknown.
