Abstract

Introduction: Oral aphthae are painful lesions that develop on the oral mucosa and require updated studies.

Objective: The objective of the study was to interpret canker sores according to PRISMA 2020 methodology.

Methods: This study was an exploratory investigation in which the authors used hermeneutic approaches to interpret a systematic review conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 methodology. The research was observational and retrospective. A review was carried out of 4 articles in Spanish in the PubMed database, covering the period from 1956 to 2023, and 86 articles in English were analysed, corresponding to the period from 1946 to 2023.

Results: This systematic review has revealed significant findings in three key areas: case studies, drug delivery strategies and oral pathology. Relationships between oral conditions, such as aphthous ulcers and recurrent aphthous stomatitis, and systemic disorders are highlighted, emphasising the importance of a comprehensive approach. In addition, the efficacy of drug delivery strategies such as polymer wafers, hyaluronic acid and low level laser therapy in the treatment of oral conditions is highlighted. The complexity of oral pathology and its relationship to genetics highlight areas for future research.

Conclusions: Overall, this systematic review highlights the importance of considering oral conditions in the context of systemic disorders, underlines the efficacy of various drug delivery strategies, and points to the complexity of oral pathology with potential genetic implications.
