Abstract

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common clinical condition producing painful ulcerations in oral cavity. The diagnosis of RAS is based on well-defined clinical characteristics but the precise etiology and pathogenesis of RAS remain unclear. The number of treatment modalities for RAS are ever increasing but the treatment of RAS still remains unsatisfactory, as most therapies only reduce the severity of the ulceration and do not stop recurrence. The present article provides a detailed review and update of the various treatment modalities presently available for RAS.
