Its etiology and pathogenesis is not clearly known and the diagnosis is based on the clinical picture. These lesions may be classified into minor, major and herpetiformis. The aphthous ulcers in the oral cavity affect speech and feeding, leading to poor quality of life. The aphthous ulcers in immunocompromised patients like AIDS cause severe type of ulceration.
