    Aphthous: Ulcer

    Uploaded by

    hazeemmegahed
    Aphthous ulcers, also known as canker sores, are a common condition characterized by recurrent, painful sores in the mouth. There are three main types: minor aphthous ulcers, which are the most common and appear as small, shallow sores; major aphthous ulcers, which are larger and can cause severe pain and difficulty swallowing; and herpetiform ulcers, which appear as clusters of numerous tiny ulcers. The exact cause is unknown but may involve the immune system. Treatment depends on the severity and type of ulcers, ranging from topical corticosteroids for minor ulcers to immunosuppressive medications for major ulcers.
