Abstract
To analyze vitamin A, D, E and B12 levels in serum among recurrent aphthous stomatitis patients and normal individual. In patients with RAS and normal subjects, vitamin A, D, E and B12 levels was compared. The most common site of occurrence of aphthous ulcers was labial mucosa in 26, buccal mucosa in 14, tongue in 10 and gingiva in 8 cases. The difference was significant (p<0.05). The most common type of RAS was aphthous minor in 40, major in 11 and herpetiform in 7 cases The difference was significant (p<0.05). The mean vitamin A level was 14.3 mcg dL-1 in group 1 and 25.8 mcg dL-1 in group 2. The mean vitamin D level was 17.8 ng L-1 in group 1 and 26.2 ng L-1 in group 2. The mean vitamin E level was 8.2 μg mL-1 in group 1 and 11.5 μg mL-1 in group 2 and B12 was 102.4 pg mL-1 in group 1 and 436.8 pg mL-1 in group 2. The difference was significant (p<0.05). No significant correlation was found among the serum level of vitamin except between vitamin B12 and vitamin E in group 1. Vitamin A, B12, D3 and E deficiencies have a substantial impact on RAS and there is a significant link between RAS patients' serum levels of B12 and E.
