Reviewing the literature, no studies were cited to report the prevalence of recurrent aphthous ulceration in Jordan. The aim of this study is to report the prevalence of recurrent aphthous ulceration in Jordanian subjects.
A total of 684 dental patients who attended Jordan University of Science and Technology interviewed and administered to fill questionnaires related to history, size, shape, and duration of recurrent aphthous ulceration. Other related questions were also asked.
About 78% of subjects experienced recurrent aphthous ulceration. Approximately 85% of ulcers were less than one cm in diameter, 66% were circular in shape, 92% were painful, 82% interfered with eating, and 55% located in lips and buccal mucosa. Only 50%of participants related ulcers to stress. Sixty eight percent reported no association with tiredness and 85% no association with types of food ingested. Of the 39% who had blood tests carried out, 7% had vitamin B12 and 4% hemoglobin deficiency.
Recurrent aphthous ulceration is a common problem in Jordanian adults.
回顾文献，没有研究报道约旦复发性口腔溃疡的患病率。本研究旨在报告约旦受试者复发性口腔溃疡的患病率。
共有 684 名牙科患者参加了约旦科技大学的访谈，并填写了与复发性口腔溃疡的病史、大小、形状和持续时间相关的问卷。还询问了其他相关问题。
约 78%的受试者经历过复发性口腔溃疡。大约 85%的溃疡直径小于 1 厘米，66%呈圆形，92%疼痛，82%影响进食，55%位于唇和颊黏膜。只有 50%的参与者将溃疡与压力联系起来。68%的人报告与疲劳无关，85%的人报告与摄入的食物类型无关。在进行血液检查的 39%的人中，7%的人维生素 B12 和 4%的人血红蛋白缺乏。
复发性口腔溃疡是约旦成年人的常见问题。
