introduction : recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is an oral lesion in the form of round or oval, single or multiple painful inflammatory ulcers in the non-keratinized mucosa. the etiology of ras has not yet to be clearly identified; however, inflammatory process mediated by the action of free radicals and oxidative stress is a possible mechanism. this study aimed to assess the efficacy of pro...

statement of problem: recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is one of the most common inflammatory diseases encountered in dental practice, but the precise etiology and pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood. vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a multifunctional angiogenic cytokine involved in angiogenesis and wound healing. there is evidence that vegf could play an importan...

background: recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is the most common inflammatory ulcerative condition of oral cavity. the aim of this study was to compare the levels of the salivary malondialdehyde (mda) and total antioxidant capacity (tac) and blood parameter in ras versus healthy controls. methods: this case-control study consisted of 28 patients with ras and 28 age and sex -matched control wi...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (nlr), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (plr), and mean platelet volume (mpv) in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras).   materials and methods: eighty patients who were diagnosed with ras between january 2014 and january 2016 were included in this study. eighty age- and gender-matched healthy subject...

Background: The current treatments of recurrent aphthous stomatitis are not very effective and are not justified for long term using due to their potential side effects. Objective: To compare the efficacy of topical sucralfate mouthwash with topical tetracycline mouthwash in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Patients and Methods: In a randomized matched clinical trial, 60 patients with recur...

recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is known as the most common chronic disease of the oral cavity, which affects a range of 5-25% of the population. ras appears to be associated with some human leukocyte antigen (hla) class ii alleles and haplotypes. this study attempts to survey the distribution of hla-drb and -dqb alleles among iranian ras patients and healthy controls. in order to evaluate ...

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a common disease of the oral mucous membranes. Currently a hypothesis is being discussed that it might be pathogenetically related to coeliac disease. We evaluated the frequency of coeliac disease anti-endomysial (or anti-transglutaminase) antibodies in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Blood samples from 42 patients were evaluated and 2/42 (4.7%) wer...

introduction : recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is a common disease with unknown etiology and no treatment. the purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between serum antioxidants level and clinical manifestation. change in antioxidant level can lead inflammatory reaction through oxidative stress. materials & methods : a total 50 patients were selected for this cross sectional stu...
