“…Ulcers -The prevalence found for recurrent aphthous ulcers in CM (11.1 + 37.2 = 48.3%) is very high as compared to findings in most other populations (11). However, very high figures 54-66%, have previously been reported from student populations (12)(13)(14). A preliminary report from a study undertaken among students at the Faculty of Dentistry in CM (by one of the authors, P. Siwamogstham) shows an aphthae prevalence of 77%, supporting the present finding.…”

At the Faculties of Dentistry in Chiang Mai, Thailand (CM), and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (KL), 234 and 233 consecutive out-patients of mean ages 33.8 and 31.0 yr, respectively, were examined for the presence of oral mucosal lesions. Tobacco in some form was regularly used by 31.7% and 27.5% of the study populations in CM and KL, respectively. Cigarette smoking was the predominant habit. In CM three persons chewed betel quids and nine smoked banana leaf cigars daily. In addition, there were 24 habitual chewers of tea leaves (miang). In KL six persons chewed betel quids daily. In CM and KL three cases each (1.3%) of tobacco-associated leukoplakias were found. In KL an additional idiopathic leukoplakia was registered. One and three cases of betel related lesions were found in CM and KL, respectively. One case of a squamous cell carcinoma was found in a 45-yr-old Indian woman in KL who had been chewing betel with tobacco daily for many years. High prevalence figures were found for lichen planus, 3.8% in CM and 2.1% in KL, and an extremely high one, 48.3%, in CM for episodes of aphthous ulcers experienced during the last 2 yr. Comparatively low prevalence figures were found for herpes labialis. As could be expected melanin pigmentation was prevalent while only low figures were encountered for denture-related lesions and amalgam tattoos.

“…This made the direct observation of HSL frequency virtually impossible, so self-reporting was employed. Some publications have based phenotyping for HSL on the annual frequency of recurrences [29,36,37]. Because infection with HSV-1 is generally believed to be required for episodes of HSL to develop, our analysis was limited to HSV-1-seropositive persons.…”

“…Emotional disturbance or stress in patients with a history of RAS provokes the development of RAS episodes (3). Studies conducted by Ship et al (13) found an increased incidence of aphthous ulcers among students during examinations compared to their daily routine life. A greater incidence of RAS (31%) was found in dental students compared to reported incidences in the general population (10±20%) (14).…”

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a chronic condition, usually with a childhood or adolescent onset and with a tendency to diminish in frequency and severity with age. Most patients are otherwise healthy. The differential diagnosis for “aphthae” includes vesiculobullous diseases, granulomas, and even squamous cell carcinomas. The onset of aphthous‐like lesions in adults suggests the possibility of developing a more complex systemic disorder such as Behcet's syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease. Treatment includes correction of underlying diseases or predisposing causes, and the use of topical and systemic anti‐inflammatory agents or immunomodulating drugs.
