Although many different oral ulcerative conditions and diseases have similar clinical appearances, etiologies are many and include: traumatic, reactive, infectious, immunologic or neoplastic. Some ulcerative conditions are always preceded by a blister, while others characteristically are not. Evaluation to include specific location, distribution, relationship to a systemic disease or its treatment, the presence of an associated fever, etc. are all important in narrowing a differential diagnosis and determining an appropriate course of action for attaining a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
