Abstract

The aphthous injuries of the oral mucosa are an important aspect in clinical practice, since they express the existance of systemic diseases or of intrinsic and specific adiopathic diseases of the oral cavity. An updated, detailed, simple and practical review of the oral aphthaes and, specially, of recurrent aphthous stomatitis concerning concept, etiology, pathogeny, diagnosis and therapeutic management was made. The oral aphthaes as specific entities with characteristics that are clinically difficult to be joined up, require a comprehensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology and immunology of the oral and systemic cavity that allows the general physician and the stomatologist to interprete their existance in order to apply the adequate therapeutics.
