Abstract

Ulceration is a common presenting sign in a myriad of diseases of the oral cavity. Traumatic oral ulcers are lesions caused by external factors associated with occasional or continuous trauma. Careful clinical and medical history and clinical evaluation may lead to a proper diagnosis and better therapeutic conduct. In this chapter, we review the clinical appearance, etiology, differential diagnosis, and recommended treatment for traumatic oral ulcers.
