Abstract: Stress and lack of adequate sleep do have an increased likelihood of an individual suffering from recurrent oral aphthous ulcers. IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) and chronic constipation also have an influence of a higher incidence of oral ulcers. Intake of spicy food such as pickles, tomato, tamarind sauce, lemons also increase the incidence of oral ulcers. Higher incidence of benign oral papillomas in sexually active age group highly suggests the association of HPV with occurrence of papillomas.
