BackgroundRecurrent aphthous stomatitis is a painful disorder of unknown etiology. It is among the most common oral mucosal lesions with high prevalence among young adults.ObjectivesTo conduct a population-based study with 18-year-old army recruiters to assess its prevalence and associated factors in male adolescents.MethodsInterview during clinical examination in the army.ResultsIn this group (2,427 interviewed adolescents) there was a RAS prevalence of 24.9%. Smoking, herpes labialis and socioeconomic status correlated with the outcome.Study Limitationsonly male adolescents were interviewed.ConclusionsOur results showed high prevalence of RAS; association with higher economic level and herpes simplex was found. Protective effect of smoking was confirmed.

“…When compared with other studies, the figure was around the same value. It was reported (25.2%) in Iran (11), (25.5%) in Turkey (12) and 17.7% in Sweden (13) but lower than the prevalence reported in Jordan (78.1%) (2). These variations could be explained due to the fact that in this type of study you depend on patients memory about RAU in his or her life as patients were asked “ have you ever suffered from such a lesion in your life” so this type of study depends mainly on patients recollection of the condition in the past, or probably the patient mix RAU with other type of ulcerations, different methodologies used (whether it is registered when the lesion is present, or it s is done through the clinical history (14), socioeconomic level (15), genetic predisposition, life style of patients and stress (2).…”

Objective: The aim of this study is to report the prevalence and risk factors of recurrent aphthous ulceration (RAU) in patients attending Piramird dental speciality for seeking dental treatment. Study design: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among patients (n=1100) who were visiting the department of oral medicine at Piramird dental speciality center in Sulaimani from December 2011-February 2012. The age range of the patients were between 10-79 years, with mean age of (34.27±14.14). 446 (44.6%) of participants were males and 554 (55.4%) were females, with male/female ratios of 0.80:1. All individuals had to answer specific questions including personal data (age, sex), level of education, occupation and smoking habit; etc. Additional questions were related to the risk factors that might be related to the condition. Chi Square test was used to analyze the data. Result: The life time prevalence of RAU experience was 28.2% (n=282). It was highly significantly more common among females (31.76%) (p<0.004). The most commonly affected age group was 20-29 years (36.28%). The highest prevalence of RAU experience was seen among mere students (36.8%); Among non smokers there were highly significantly more patients with RAU experience (30%) than in heavy smoker patients (12.22%), (p=0.000). 34.4% of patients had family history of RAU. Lips and buccal mucosae were the commonest sites of ulcerations (73.10%), and the major risk factor was stress (43.3%). Conclusion: This study has provided information about the epidemiologic aspects of recurrent aphthous ulceration, Based on the finding of this study, RAU is a common, recurrent painful oral ulceration. This study point to the importance of a thorough history taking to identify the patient’s main risk factors to get preventive measures, therefore treatment will be tailored for each patient accordingly. And the author concluded that stress was the major risk factor, thus, stress-management interventions suggested to be beneficial in reducing RAU recurrence episodes. Key words:Recurrent aphthous ulceration, prevalence, stress.

“…In Iran, the prevalence of RAS is 25.2% (10,291 respondents), in Brazil, 24.9% (2,427 respondents), and in Turkey, 22.8% (11,360 respondents). [12][13][14] In this study, RAS was associated with fruits, vegetables, dairy products and drinking water intake through univariable analysis (p < .05). Other variables, including fried foods, fermented foods, spicy foods, eggs, gender and age, showed no statistically signi cant associations (p ≥ .05).…”

Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), a common oral mucosal disorder characterized by chronic, inflammatory, and ovoid ulcers, has a complex aetiology. The purpose of the study was to investigate the dietary factors influencing the prevalence of RAS.Methods: A total of 754 participants aged 18 to 59 years in Nanjing were enrolled in this descriptive cross-sectional study. An anonymous questionnaire was adopted to investigate the distribution of RAS, dietary factors, self-reported trigger factors and therapeutic methods.Results: Among all participants, the prevalence rate of RAS was 21.4%. Univariable analysis identified fruits, dairy products, vegetables and drinking water, but not fried foods, fermented foods, spicy foods, or eggs, as influencing factors of RAS. After adjusting for age and sex, multivariable regression analysis identified fruits (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = .432, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [.219-.853], p = .015) and drinking water (aOR = 3.603, 95% CI = [1.280-10.147], p = .015) as protective factors of RAS. Conclusion: RAS is prevalent among the 18- to 59-year-old Nanjing population. A lower intake of fruits and drinking water might be associated with a higher prevalence of RAS. These factors could be used as daily preventive measures for RAS.
