Introduction Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common ulcerative condition in the oral cavity in humans. It is characterized by the recurrence of well-defined, painful mouth ulcers with an erythematous border and a fibrinous base. The ulcers cannot be attributed to local trauma or systemic disease.1, 2 The etiology is not clearly defined, although genetic susceptibility seems to be a relevant risk factor.1 RAS mainly affects children and up to 20–25% of young adults.
