Introduction Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common ulcer of idiopathic etiology but is recurrent, causing painful ulcers in the non-keratinized mucosa. The disease is commonly seen in people aged 10-40 years. The etiology of RAS has yet to be well established, but several risk factors that lead to the development of RAS have been proven in the literature.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a benign ulcerative condition, defined by the recurrent formation of non-contagious mucosal ulcers. Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is secreted frequently at surfaces exposed directly to body fluids. This study aims to investigate the association of SP-D single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the onset of RAS.

Objectives: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a painful disorder that commonly appears as ulcers on the oral mucosa, lasting ∼two weeks (minor) to months (major and herpetiform). Current treatment often necessitates the use of topical steroids in the form of pastes, mouthwashes, or gels, but these forms are often ineffective due to inadequate drug contact time with the ulcers. In this study, the performance of novel bilayer mucoadhesive buccal films loaded with triamcinolone acetonide (TA) has been evaluated for targeted drug delivery.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common oral disease characterized by intermittent eruptions of painful oral ulcerations. Hippocrates first described aphthous stomatitis with the Greek word meaning "to inflame." RAS affects 10-20% of the population with the incidence being the highest among young adults.

Background: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most frequent inflammatory disorders of the oral mucosa. Cytokines, which play an important role in RAS pathogenesis, participate directly or indirectly in normal, immunological and inflammatory processes and are secreted from cells belonging to innate and adaptive immunity as a consequence of microbial and antigenic stimuli. Gene polymorphisms in specific cytokines may predispose to RAS development.
