Purpose: This study compared the effect of two oral care agents on preventing stomatitis and discomfort for acute leukemic patients. Methods: A total of forty patients was enrolled and randomly assigned to sodium bicarbonate or chlorhexidine group. WHO oral toxicity scale was used for measuring stomatitis and Beck's subjective oral discomfort scale for evaluating oral comfort. Data was collected from August 2009 to February 2010. The data was analyzed using Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and Mann-Whitney test. Results: Data analyzed was thirty five one. The incidence of stomatitis was 47.4%, 68.8% in sodium bicarbonate and chlohexidine group respectively. The onset of stomatitis was about the 10th and 9th day after chemotherapy initiation, and the duration was 8.0 and 8.67 day respectively. The severity of stomatitis was highest on the 21st day after chemotherapy initiation. There were no statistical differences in the status of stomatitis and the levels of oral comfort during treatment periods. Conclusion: Nurses should routinely assess oral cavity and encourage patients to do oral care actively from second to third week after chemotherapy initiation. Also sodium bicarbonate agent can be recommended to for preventing stomatitis.

Objectives : This study was designed to investigate the Efficacy of Gamiyukmijihwang-tang on Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis. Methods : We surveyed 10 recurrent aphthous stomatitis patients visited the oral diseases clinic in the Kyung Hee University Oriental Medicine Hospital from September, 2011 to March, 2012. Before and 2 weeks after taking Gamiyukmijihwang-tang, the subjects were evaluated on clinical characteristics of recurrent aphthous stomatitis, severity of pain using visual analogue scale (VAS), quality of life about oral health (based on the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile-14) and yin-deficiency condition (based on the 10-item Yin-deficiency Questionnaire). Then, 5 patients who had already finished treatment were assessed about recurrence of recurrent aphthous stomatitis by telephone survey 6 weeks later. Results : After 2 weeks taking Gamiyukmijihwang-tang, clinical characteristics of 10 patients of recurrent aphthous stomatitis improved; their severity of pain, quality of life about oral health and yin-deficiency condition improved significantly. After 6 weeks, 3 of 5 patients who had already finished treatment didn't experience recurrence of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. The other 2 patients experienced a recurrence, but their clinical characteristics of recurrent aphthous stomatitis improved significantly. Conclusions : Gamiyukmijihwang-tang is effective on recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Studies with a larger number of cases and longer follow-up will be needed in the future.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is one of the most common diseases of ulcerative oral mucosal lesions and its cause remains elusive. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of topical steroids for the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis. We performed the study with 50 cases who had visited to our office for the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis during the recent five years. We devided 50 cases into five groups. Group 1 is that triamcinolone of 0.1-0.2mg was injected into the submucosal lesions of ulcerations. Group 2 is that the gargling of 5ml with triamcinolone tablet of 2mg was used three times per day for seven days. Group 3 is that the gargling of 5ml with betamethasone tablet 0.5mg was used three times per day for seven days. Group 4 is that tetracycline gargling was used six times per day for seven days. Group 5 is that normal saline gargling was used six times per day for seven days. The retrospective analysis of results were as follows : Betamethasone gargling was effective in the treatment of minor aphthous stomatitis and the submucosal injection of triamcinolone was effective in the treatment of major aphthous stomatitis, but none of the different therapeutic methods was effective for herpetiform stomatitis. In the evaluation of mean recurrence periods, the triamcinolone gargling and betamethasone gargling showed longer asymptomatic periods than other methods. We concluded that some kinds of topical steroids can be used for the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis but the proper selection of agents according to the type of the disease is important for the treatment.

Stomatitis is a common toxicity associated with the administration of certain cancer chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of malignant tumors. It represents one of the most distressing side effects of cancer chemotherapy and can interfere with the patient's ability to eat, be the cause of much pain and discomfort, and require the use of potent analgesics. The situation also creates favorable conditions for local infection which may lead to septicemia. Several authors have identified the need to establish protocols for the control and treatment of the oral discomfort associated with oral mucositis as a result of chemotherapy. Thus this study attempted to development of oral care protocol for chemotherapy patients. The effects of the mouth care using sterile normal saline, nystatine solution on oral stomatitis were investigated in 30 patients on chemotherapy. The subsect were divided into three groups : control group : not gargling experimental group A : normal saline gargling (4 times a day) experimental group B : nystatine solution gargling(4 times a day) The Oral Assessment Guide (OAG) was used to assess oral status three times(once in the prechemotherapy period, on 5th, 10th day of post chemotherapy) Oral culture was used to assess oral infection on 5th day of postchemotherapy. Data was analyzed on SAS program which used repeated ANOVA, t-test, X/sup²test. The results are as follows : 1. The incidence of stomatitis was higher in the control group and experimental group A than in experimental group B.（X/sup²＝0.002 P＝0.001）. The grade of stomatitis(mean of total score) for patients in the experimental group B were significantly lower than in the experimental group A F＝1.96 P＝0.0024）. In incidence of tongue change, control group, experimental group B were significantly higher than experimental group B（F＝6.84 P＝0.0039）. In control group and experimental group A. oral infection due to pathogenic bacteria were identified. In conclusion, mouth care with nystatine solution four times a day could reduce the incidence of stomatitis and secondary oral infection due to stomatitis. Thus active mouth care protocol which used to nystatine solution gargling need to prevention of stomatitis in chemotherapy patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether adolescents with allergic rhinitis are at an increased risk of stomatitis and to ascertain possible sex-specific differences. Methods: The data for this cross-sectional study was obtained from the 18th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2022). Of the 56,213 students surveyed, 51,850 (boys 26,397 and girls 25,453) were included in the final analyses. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify the impact of allergic rhinitis on the risk of stomatitis among Korean adolescents. Results: In Model II, which was adjusted for allergic disease, boys with allergic rhinitis had a 1.53-fold (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=1.53, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.40-1.67), and girls had a 1.35-fold (aOR=1.35, CI=1.25-1.46) elevated risk of stomatitis than in those without. In Model III, after adjusting for all covariates, boys with allergic rhinitis had a 1.48-fold (aOR=1.48, CI=1.36-1.62) elevated risk of stomatitis than in those without, and girls had a 1.32-fold (aOR=1.32, CI=1.22-1.43) elevated risk, which remained statistically significant after adjusting for covariates. Therefore, allergic rhinitis in adolescents exerts a detrimental effect on the risk of experiencing stomatitis symptoms; the risk was higher in boys than in girls. Conclusions: These findings suggest that oral health care attention and intervention are needed for adolescents with allergic rhinitis.
