Chlorhexidine 0.12% in mouthwashes or gel is very useful. The duration of the treatment will last until the resolution of the lesions (usually a few days). Triclosan can also be used in gel or mouthwashes, providing an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> Some authors propose the use of amlexanox 5% (oral patches, tablets or adhesive pastes) as a topical treatment of ulcers. It is an anti-inflammatory and antiallergic drug, which inhibits the formation and release of histamine and leukotrienes from mast cells, neutrophils and mononuclear cells in the affected area. Several studies have shown it accelerates healing of ulcers and resolves erythema, pain and lesion size in the RAS.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13,14</span></a> Topical antibiotics are another treatment option.

The most popular are, in order, from lowest to highest potency: triamcinolone acetonide, fluocinolone acetonide, and clobetasol propionate, in the appropriate proportion, depending on lesion severity.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> These 3 drugs can be administered as ointments on adhesive excipient when lesions are localized or mouthwashes in aqueous or aqueous-alcoholic solutions when lesions are diffuse or very numerous.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0200"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> Triamcinolone acetonide is particularly indicated in patients with small and moderate erosions. Fluocinolone acetonide provides a medium to high potency and is used in patients with more aggressive lesions. Finally, clobetasol propionate is reserved for major lesions. In this context, it is considered a pre alternative to prescribing systemic glucocorticoids. To help with the healing process it is advisable to keep the medication in direct contact with the lesion as long as possible, not eating or drinking during 20<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min after drug application, avoiding touching the treated area. If the drug is administered in the form of mouthwashes, keep the solution in the mouth during the specified time without swallowing.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> Another therapeutic option for RAS is the systemic treatment, when the topical treatment is not effective because of the lesion severity degree. Glucocorticoids are the first choice. Prednisone has been used, achieving the disappearance of pain and re-epithelialization of lesions during the first month of treatment. The long-term treatment with glucocorticoids can have side effects. Immunomodulators such as thalidomide are also used as a treatment for RAS, obtaining good results in the remission of lesions, but with many side effects such as teratogenicity, polyneuropathy, drowsiness, constipation, increased appetite, nausea and stomach pain.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0185"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a></p><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0005"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0010"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the case of ulcers associated with other syndromes (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0015">Table 3</a>), measures (topical treatment) to alleviate the symptoms will be adopted and patients will be referred to complete their study.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0015"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In summary, oral ulcers occur with great frequency in the population and can be the first sign of a systemic disease. These lesions can affect the patient's daily life, as they are very painful, they hinder normal chewing, swallowing and speaking, and is thus a frequent reason for consultation. Because they can have multiple causes, it is very important to emphasize performing a correct case history, taking into account the clinical characteristics of the ulcer, its location and progression time. In this way it will be possible to make a differential diagnosis, which will contribute to an effective treatment for the patient.</p></span></span><span id="sec0045" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0045">Conflict of interests</span><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare no conflict of interest.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:5 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Differential diagnosis" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Treatment" "secciones" => array:5 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Treatment of aphthoid ulcers" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Treatment of specific ulcers" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Treatment of traumatic ulcers" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Treatment of neoplastic ulcers" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0040" "titulo" => "Treatment of canker sores" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0045" "titulo" => "Conflict of interests" ] 4 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2015-03-14" "fechaAceptado" => "2015-04-27" "NotaPie" => array:1 [ 0 => array:2 [ "etiqueta" => "☆" "nota" => "<p class="elsevierStyleNotepara" id="npar0005">Please cite this article as: Schemel-Suárez M, López-López J, Chimenos-Küstner E.
