Patients experience repeating cycle of aphthous, pain, and recurrence. Stress and inheritance as a crucial factor on RAS incidence was studied. This study aimed to assess the effect of stress on incidence of oral aphthous ulcer between girl students.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive analytic study, 248 female students from Yazd high schools were evaluated, before and after a period of stress. Informed consent was taken before oral examination.
