Abstract

Objective: To analyze oral canker sores, their causes and therapeutic considerations. Method: Descriptive documentation. Results and conclusions: the multifactorial nature of the etiology of oral canker sores is evident, highlighting immunological, genetic, dietary and environmental factors as the main underlying causes. The therapeutic considerations reflect a diversified approach, with treatments ranging from the use of topical corticosteroids and immunomodulatory agents to the application of emerging technologies such as laser therapy and non-thermal plasma.
