What is Zinc Deficiency in Patients With Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis: A Pilot Study about?

This pilot study investigates the association between zinc deficiency and recurrent aphthous stomatitis, a common oral mucosal disease affecting 20% of the population. The study found that 28% of patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis had zinc deficiency compared to only 4% in the healthy control group, with significantly lower serum zinc levels in the patient group. These findings suggest that zinc deficiency may be a potential aetiological factor for recurrent aphthous stomatitis.
