K-oral.m-Oral ulcerations
1. The oral or mucosal ulcerations are a break in
epithelial continuity that reach to connective tissue
and damage the damage the basement membrane ,
which frequently a feature of stomatitis.
While the mucosal laceration
just a sloughing of epithelial
layer above the basement
membrane.
2. Oral Ulcerations
1. Vesiculo-bullous diseases
A. Infective
B. Non-infective
2. Ulcerations without preceding vesiculation
A. Infective
B. Non-infective
7. Traumatic ulcers are usually caused by a denture
and often seen in the buccal or lingual sulcus. They
are tender, have a yellowish floor, and red margins;
there is no induration.
8. The traumatic ulcers
(1) Physical trauma (sharp edge
and thermal trauma)
(2) Factitious ulceration (self
inflected ulcer)
(3) Chemical trauma

11. Recurrent aphthae constitute the most
common oral mucosal disease and affect 10-25
% of the population, but many cases are mild
and accepted with little complaint. The term is
from from Greek: αφθα aphtha meaning
"mouth ulcer".
12. RAS is a common condition, restricted
to the mouth, that typically starts in
childhood or teenager as recurrent small,
round, or ovoid ulcers with circumscribed
margins, erythematous haloes, and yellow
or gray floors.
13. A positive family history of similar
ulcers is common, and the natural
history is typically of resolution in
the third or fourth decade of life.
14. The etiology of recurrent aphthae is unclear. There
is no evidence that they are a form of auto-immune
disease in any accepted sense, and it is uncertain whether
many of the reported immunological abnormalities are
cause or effect.
However, in a minority of patients there is a clear
association with hematological deficiencies. The latter in
turn may be secondary to small-intestine disease or other
cause of malabsorption.
15. The old and recent theory that more accepted in the
practice and foundation of this disease are ……….
The RAS is an allergy of oral mucosa to specitic
allergen found in some
1…….food
2…….beverages
3…….chewing gum
4…….dentifrices (mainly hypersensitivity to sodium
lauryl sulphate found in many brands of toothpaste).
16. Pathogenesis of RAS
The hypersensitivity start with Ag-Ab complex under
the oral mucosa which provoke the inflammatory reaction
that destroy the lining mucosa and form the ulcer. So the
patient felt with prodromal symptoms of pruritic
sensation and do friction to this site of redness before
ulcer to appear.
17. Types of recurrent aphthae ulcers
(clinically)
1. Minor aphthae ulcers are most common type affects the non-
keratinised mucosa such as labial and buccal mucosa, floor of the
mouth, and lingual mucosa.
2. Major aphthae ulcer is uncommon type, frequently several
centimeter in diameter, and mimic a malignant ulcer, affected the
masticatory mucosa.
3. Herpetiform aphthae ulcers are uncommon type, affect the non-
keratinised mucosa.

1- Genetic Factors
2- Exaggerated response to trauma
3- Infections
4- Immunological abnormalities
5- Gastrointestinal diseases
6- Haematological deficiencies
7- Hormonal factors
