Abstract
An excruciating inflammatory process of the mouth mucosa is known as oral aphthosis. Oral aphthous can develop on its own or as a side effect of several different medical conditions. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is the term used when recurrence happens frequently. Although the pathogenesis of oral aphthous ulcers is yet unknown, the microbiology of these lesions includes a variety of microorganisms. In literature, three morphological kinds are highly significant since they aid in the appropriate management of the sickness. The pertinent data and information were obtained by searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Various terms, such as "Aphthous ulcer causes," "Aphthous ulcer AND Microbiota," "Canker sores," "Aphthous stomatitis," and "Aphthous ulcer AND treatment." Oral aphthous ulcerations can have a wide range of causes, including malignant disease processes, uncommon syndromes, underlying intestinal diseases, and localized trauma. The doctor or dermatologist can help determine whether the condition is genuinely idiopathic or connected to a systemic illness process by obtaining a complete history and performing a thorough examination of the systems. Oral aphthous ulcers are difficult to treat. Topical medicines are preferred for treating oral aphthous ulcers or recurrent aphthous ulcers resulting from underlying diseases since they have fewer negative effects. In the event that the illness worsens, systemic drugs become required. It is safe to state that topical corticosteroids are the first line of treatment, given the limitations of the research and literature supplied. The pathophysiology, kinds, causes, diagnosis, and recommended treatment ladder of oral aphthous stomatitis as reported in the literature are discussed by the author here.
