The aetiology of recurrent aphthous ulceration is not known for certain. Emotional disturbances are thought to be important in the causation and exaggeration of aphthous ulcers. Fourteen patients suffering from aphthous ulcers, who have histories of emotional disturbances were treated either with Kenalog in Orabase alone or with additional two tablets of Deanxit daily. At the end of six weeks, patients treated in the latter manner showed marked improvements in their ulcers. There was no side effects from the drug with the dosage employed. Deanxit is highly recommended for those suffering from aphthous ulcerations with emotional disturbance.
