Idiopathic aphthous ulceration is common and affects upto 25% of the population. Recurrent painful round or ovoid mouth ulcers are seen with inflammatory halos. They are more common in females and non-smokers, usually appearing first in childhood and tend to reduce in number and frequency by age. Mouth ulcers, as they are called as in common usage, are largely annoying and recurrent disease, sometimes developing as a hint to the underlying condition.
Though not a fatal condition or medical emergency, mouth ulcer needs to be diagnosed and treated well because if not treated they can cause deficiencies and other complications due to lack of food intake. Sometimes, like in chemotherapy, mouth ulcers develop as the side effect of treatment which should be managed differently.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Typically seen on the buccal mucosa, the labial mucosa, the floor of the mouth or the tongue.
Severe pain or burning sensation develops one day before the actual development of ulcer.
Painful lesions with well-defined margins and shallow necrotic center.
Yellow-greyish membrane at the base of the lesion and surrounded by raised margins and erythematous haloes.
The pain is severe and gets aggravated on eating, swallowing and speaking. The pain usually persists for three to four days.
CAUSES
Idiopathic
Gastrointestinal diseases-Inflammatory bowel disease, coeliac disease
Infection- Viral: HSV, HIV, Coxsackie; Fungal: candidiasis; Bacterial: syphilis, Tuberculosis
Systemic disease- Reactive Arthritis, SLE,
Trauma- dentures
Neoplasia- Squamous cell carcinoma
Drugs- Chemotherapy:antimalarials
Skin disease- Pemphigus, Lichen planus
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
The complex interactions of various etiological factors together can trigger ulcer formation. Etiological factors can be classified into predisposing factors and precipitating / triggering factors. The factors like HLA associations, immune dysregulation, nutritional deficiency, personality type A are the predisposing factors. Microtrauma, infections, stress could be the initiating or triggering factor for ulcer formation. Those individuals who are susceptible when exposed to the triggering factors for certain duration tend to develop ulcers. Based on the intensity and duration of the triggering factors, ulcer starts growing till the factors are removed. Pain suffered by the patients is directly proportional to the size of the ulcer and severity of the triggering factors. For example, the serum cortisol level: which is a biomarker of the stress was increased in the subjects with RAS and the increase was directly proportional to the ulcer size.
DIAGNOSIS
Physical examination – confirmatory in most of the cases
A fever also suggests the ulcers may be caused by a herpes simplex infection
Blood tests – to check for signs of infection and iron and folate deficiency
Skin biopsy – a small tag of tissue from the ulcer is taken and examined to rule out neoplasms.
TREATMENTS
There are no specific therapies. Patients are advised to avoid oral trauma and acidic foods and drinks which cause pain. Topical or systemic corticosteroids may lessen the duration and severity of the attacks. Chlorhexidine gluconate or tetracycline mouthwash, dapsone, colchicine, thalidomide and azathioprine have all been used with variable effect.
PROGNOSIS
Most ulcers clear up without treatment and do not leave scars, although they usually return.
COMPLICATIONS
Untreated, mouth ulcers can occasionally lead to complications including: Bacterial infection; Inflammation of the mouth (cellulitis) and Tooth abscess. In chronic cases, food intake is affected both in quantity & quality which can lead to deficiency diseases.

Ayurveda treatment for mukhavrana includes avoiding the causative factors. Treatment depends upon the disease or condition that is causing the disease. For example, if arsas is causing recurrent mouth ulcers, treatment for arsas should be done and the lesions will be less. Mild fasting is advised if indigestion is present in adults. It cannot be done in small babies & weak people. Management of aggravated Pitta and bringing back the normalcy of Rasa-raktadhatus are the treatment methods.

Régime alimentaire
- À éviter
Les repas lourds et les aliments difficiles à digérer provoquent des indigestions.
la malbouffe - elle perturbe la digestion et réduit la biodisponibilité du médicament
carbonated drinks – makes the stomach more acidic and disturbed digestion
aliments réfrigérés et congelés - provoquent une digestion faible et paresseuse en affaiblissant l'agni (feu digestif)
le lait caillé - provoque le vidaaha et, par conséquent, de nombreuses autres maladies
- A ajouter
Drink only boiled water
Des repas légers et des aliments faciles à digérer
Gramme vert, soupes, babeurre bouilli avec du curcuma, du gingembre et des feuilles de curry.
Aliments fraîchement cuits et chauds traités avec des graines de cumin, du gingembre, du poivre noir, de l'ajwain, etc.
Comportement :
Better to avoid extreme hot climate
Il est préférable d'éviter une exposition excessive à la lumière du soleil, au vent, à la pluie ou à la poussière.
Évitez de soulever des poids lourds et de pratiquer d'autres activités physiques intenses.
Maintenir une alimentation et un sommeil réguliers.
Évitez de vous asseoir continuellement pendant une longue période et évitez de vous accroupir.
Avoid holding or forcing natural urges like cough, sneezing, urine, faeces etc.
postures de Yoga
Following a daily exercise routine will help the person to improve digestion & health. Balanced normal digestion lessens the chance of development of moth ulcers.
Stretching exercises and specific yoga asanas like pavanamuktasana, vajrasana, bhujangasana etc are recommended.

Le yoga permet de maintenir l'harmonie à l'intérieur et avec l'environnement.

The prognosis of Recurrent Oral Ulcers (ROU) by performing prospective evaluations of 67 patients who had only a history of ROU and were registered at the Behçet’s Disease Specialty Clinic at Severance Hospital of Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea was studied. Thirty-five patients (52.2%) developed overt manifestations of BD at an average of 7.7 years after the onset of ROU. The frequency of recurrence was 9.8 times per year in progressive cases. From these results, it appears that highly recurrent ROU is a warning signal for BD. Careful examinations of patients, including their minor symptoms, additional laboratory tests, and regular follow-ups by physicians are required for proper diagnosis.

The efficacy and safety of the topical application of Hyaluronic acid (HA) gel on recurrent oral ulcers was studied. Thirty-three outpatients with recurrent oral ulcers were included in the study.The patients used topical 0.2% HA gel twice daily for 2 weeks. A subjective reduction in the number of ulcers and a decrease in the ulcer healing period was observed in 72.7% of the patients. 75.8% experienced improvement in visual analogue scale for pain. Objective inspection of the ulcers showed a reduction of numbers in 57.6% of the patients, and 78.8% of the ulcers showed a decrease in area. Among the inflammatory signs, swelling and local heat were significantly improved after treatment. The study concluded that topical application of 0.2% HA gel seems to be an effective and safe therapy in patients with recurrent oral ulcers.
