Relevance. Aphthous stomatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the oral mucosa, often marked by the appearance of recurrent, painful ulcerations. In pediatric patients, antibiotic therapy has been increasingly recognized as a contributing factor in the development of this condition. Antibacterial medications may disrupt the natural balance of the oral microbiota, weaken mucosal defenses, and alter local immune regulation, thereby creating favorable conditions for the onset of aphthous lesions.Downloads
