Aphthous ulcers- a post- operative complication of dental implants
Aphthous stomatitis is one of the most common ulcerative lesions in the oral cavity. Aphthous stomatitis is a common ailment, idiopathic in nature, with recurrent painful aphthous ulcers (commonly termed "canker sores") on the non-keratinized oral mucous membranes.
A thorough history and review of systems can assist the clinician in determining whether it is related to a systemic inflammatory process or truly idiopathic. However, its occurrence after implant placements is still of major concern.
Presence of aphthous ulcers should be considered by dentists as a potential postoperative complication of dental implantation, reports a study conducted at the Department of Oral Medicine, School of Dentistry, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Hamed Mortazavi and associates aimed to to report the characteristics of patients with aphthous stomatitis after dental implantation.
