ABSTRACT
The clinical and historic features of 50 patients with diagnosed aphthous stomatitis and treated with topical triamcinolone acetonide, 0.1% or 0.2% aqueous suspension; alone or in combination with initial burst therapy of 40 to 60 mg of prednisone, are reviewed. The mean age of our patients was 36.6 years (range 6 to 80 years). The duration of the chief complaint, usually oral pain, or more specifically, recurrent oral ulcers, was 11.1 years (range 4 weeks to 40 years). All patients showed a wide range of ulcer sizes when examined initially or at follow-up. Forty were followed up for an average of 22.9 months. Thirty-four reported prompt healing of ulcers identified at the time of initial evaluation, and no or markedly fewer ulcers subsequently if maintenance therapy of prophylactic topical triamcinolone, 0.1% or 0.2% aqueous rinse, was used. Five patients reported partial relief. No systemic side effects were noted even after long-term topical therapy. Local candidosis was a complication encountered in five patients.
