Resumen
EGUIA DEL VALLE, A. et al. Smoking habit in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.3, pp.161-165. ISSN 2340-3152.
Recurrent aphtohus stomatitis (RAS) is a common type of ulcerative disease of the oral mucosa with a complex etiology that remains unclear. Smoking habit has a surprising, controversial and not well understood relationship with this disease, preventing the development of new lesions. In this work we present the results on tobacco consumption among 171 RAS patients. We also analyze the clinical aspects of these patients, especially those related to the frequency, location, number and size of the lesions. In this paper we also review the most important controversies on the relationship between the smoking habit and the clinical findings in RAU patients.
