Archives of Otolaryngology and Rhinology
Research Article
Abstract 
Backgrounds: There is a lack of valid and reliable studies in literature on both the distinctive and ambiguous relationship between the psychological profile and the occurrence of recurrent aphthous ulcers in the individual. Objectives: The etiology of recurrent aphthous ulceration (RAU) is not well understood. This study analyzes the psychological treatment of patients with recurrent aphthous using valid, confidential and effective psychological measures. Materials: In this study we included 50 patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis who were undergoing no psychiatric treatment, as well as 50 age and gender matched healthy individuals as the control group. The study utilized the Beck Depression Inventory and STAI-S and STAI-T tests, which have been evaluated as valid sources for assessment.
