Overview
Aphthous ulcer may be classified into 3 groups: major aphthous stomatitis, minor aphthous stomatitis and herpetiform stomatitis.
Classification
Aphthous ulcer may be classified into:
- Major aphthous stomatitis - Most common. Few ulcers or even just a single one, smaller than 1cm. Usually these lesions are self-resolving. Affects the lips, tongue lateral aspects and cheeks.[1]Mishra, Shweta (2020). A BOOK ON APHTHOUS ULCER. Saarbrücken: LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing. ISBN 6202684984.
- Minor aphthous stomatitis - Few ulcers of size greater than 1 cm. Often found in the back of the mouth. Painful and deeper than minor aphthous stomatitis, usually leaving a scar as it heals.
- Herpetiform stomatitis - Least common. Wide number of ulcers, usually more than 10, with size varying between 1-3mm and may leave scars as it heals. Ulcers may coalesce and become larger. More common in young adults in the 20s or 30s.[2]
