Objectives This study aimed to determine the role of stress in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Stress was examined with the Perceived Stress Scale and cortisol levels; meanwhile, recurrent aphthous stomatitis was assessed with the duration of the lesion. Materials and Methods This was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted at Oral Medicine Installation, Universitas Sumatera Utara Dental Hospital, and Prodia Laboratory, Medan. The subjects were 50 patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, without systemic disease, who did not take systemic drugs or use orthodontic appliances. The diagnosis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis was established with anamnesis and clinical examination. Stress was examined by filling out the Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire and blood tests for serum cortisol levels. Statistical analysis The data were analyzed using the Fisher test and Mann–Whitney U test. Results This study showed no significant relationship between the Perceived Stress Scale category and recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with a p-value of 0.392. This study also showed no significant relationship between blood cortisol level and recurrent aphthous stomatitis with a p-value of 1.000. Conclusion Stress may play an important role in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. However, this study did not show any difference in stress examined through the Perceived Stress Scale and cortisol levels based on the duration of recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

“…Clinically, mucormycosis occurs in one of four forms: rhino-cerebral, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and disseminated. The rhino-cerebral form is the most common representing form further subdivided into two subtypes: a highly fatal rhino-orbital-cerebral form, which is invasive and may involve the ophthalmic and internal carotid arteries, and a less fatal rhino-maxillary form, which involves the sphenopalatine and greater palatine arteries, resulting in thrombosis of the turbinates and necrosis of the palate [6][7][8]. Mandibular forms are not included in the classification.…”

Mucormycosis is a fungal disease involving predominantly the paranasal sinuses and further spreading to the orbit and cerebral regions. It does rarely affect the pulmonary region and gastrointestinal regions. This disease is seen more in a very serious state, where the tissues undergo necrosis and cause huge morbidity and, in some cases, end up being fatal. The disease was common in individuals with an immunecompromised state, thus more commonly presenting in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes. The disease is usually acquired through coming into contact with spores of the fungus Mucormycetes through the nose, and the fungi invade the paranasal regions, colonize, and spread locally with angio-invasion and relying on host ferritin for survival, thereby causing tissue necrosis. The incidence of mucormycosis had increased considerably post-COVID-19 due to host immune factors. This fungus commonly spreads from paranasal regions to the cranial direction through orbit. The spread is rapid, thus needing early medical and surgical intervention. The spread of infection from the paranasal regions to the caudally placed mandible is very rarely seen. In this paper, we present three cases of mucormycosis spreading caudally and involving the mandibular regions.

Combined treatment of dexamethasone mouthwash and low‐level laser therapy in the management of aphthous‐like ulcers caused by nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs: A case report

Key Clinical MessageA case of major aphthous‐like ulcer was described in a 50‐year‐old patient. The patient showed the main signs of aphthous stomatitis painful ulcer, 1–2 cm in diameter, located on the ventral of the tongue, buccal mucosa, and the palate. These ulcers persisted for more than 3 weeks. The patient's self‐administration of a nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (NSAID) was suggested as the leading cause of aphthous‐like ulcers in this case. ulcers were treated with dexamethasone mouthwash and low‐level laser therapy (LLLT).
