Oral Ulceration - Clinical Feature

Abstract

General Dental Practitioners (GDPs) frequently encounter patients presenting with oral ulceration. Oral ulceration has a variety of aetiologies and clinical presentations, which can aid in the diagnosis and management of the condition. This article discusses the different aetiologies, classical clinical findings, and management regimes for oral ulceration. Furthermore, this article will also support GDPs to identify cases of oral ulceration that may require referral to a secondary care setting.
