The effect of high cholesterol level on recurrence rate of oral ulcer
Introduction: Oral ulcers are one of the most common complaints of the oral mucosa lesion. Ulcer is defined by damage or discontinuity of the epithelium and lamina propria which usually affects the non-keratinized or poorly keratinized surfaces of the oral mucosa. It is a multifactorial condition se...

Results: Cholesterol level was significantly higher in patient with recurrent oral ulcer (6.32 +/- 0.45mmol) compared to control group (4.97 +/- 0.28mmol) (p<0.05). t(46) = 2.75, p = 0.008.

Introduction: Oral ulcers are one of the most common complaints of the oral mucosa lesion. Ulcer is defined by damage or discontinuity of the epithelium and lamina propria which usually affects the non-keratinized or poorly keratinized surfaces of the oral mucosa. It is a multifactorial condition several predisposing factors have been suggested.

Materials and Methods: A case control study was conducted in oral medicine clinic Kulliyyah of Dentistry International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuantan, Pahang.
