ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A case of major aphthous-like ulcer was described in a 50-year-old patient. The patient showed the main signs of aphthous stomatitis painful ulcer, 1-2 cm in diameter, located on the ventral of the tongue, buccal mucosa, and the palate. These ulcers persisted for more than 3 weeks. The patient's self-administration of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) was suggested as the leading cause of aphthous-like ulcers in this case. ulcers were treated with dexamethasone mouthwash and low-level laser therapy (LLLT).
