Types of ulceration covered in this paper include traumatic, infective, aphthous, ulceration related to the oral dermatoses, drug-induced, ulceration as a manifestation of systemic disease and ulceration indicating malignancy.

A study on the occurrence of bacterial isolation in mouth ulcer patients

“…But in contrast to our study, we depicts that the mouth ulcer are caused by bacterial species. (3) The aetiology of the condition is not completely understood but is thought to be immunologically-based. The study of previous researches have shown that the viruses (3) and fungi were the commonest cause for mouth ulceration.…”

“…(3) The aetiology of the condition is not completely understood but is thought to be immunologically-based. The study of previous researches have shown that the viruses (3) and fungi were the commonest cause for mouth ulceration. Unlike previous studies, We report that bacterial isolates of Acinetobacter baumanii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus are the major cause for mouth ulceration.…”

“…Recurrences may be more likely if the patient has compromised general health. (3) The study of Nolan. A et al, (9) showed that, oranges, tomatoes, nuts, eggplant, tea and cola were the dietary allergens found to trigger of ulcer formation.…”

“…It occurs in individuals of poor immune system. (3) This study was conducted to evaluate the bacterial infections of recurrent oral ulceration.…”
