Aphthous stomatitis is a painful and often recurrent inflammatory process of the
oral mucosa that can appear secondary to various well-defined disease processes.
Idiopathic recurrent aphthous stomatitis is referred to as recurrent aphthous
stomatitis. The differential diagnosis for recurrent aphthous ulcerations is
extensive and ranges from idiopathic benign causes to inherited fever syndromes,
to connective tissue disease, or even inflammatory bowel diseases. A thorough
history and review of systems can assist the clinician in determining whether it
is related to a systemic inflammatory process or truly idiopathic. Management of
aphthous stomatitis is challenging. For recurrent aphthous stomatitis or
recalcitrant aphthous stomatitis from underlying disease, first-line treatment
consists of topical medications with use of systemic medications as necessary.
Herein, the authors discuss the differential diagnosis and treatment ladder of
aphthous stomatitis as described in the literature.
