[Infectious stomatitis].

Infectious stomatitis is bacterial essentially when of dental origin, the viral forms most often causing a vesicular and erosive stomatitis, and fungal secondary to a modification of the oral commensal flora. The diagnosis is often clinical with the lesions being of characteristic appearance and arising in a suggestive context. When the appearance is less typical or when the choice of treatment necessitates the identification of the germ, specific samples are taken. The treatment of viral stomatitis is essentially symptomatic, that of bacterial and fungal stomatitis comprising two arms: the specific treatment of the acute episode and then that of the particular oral-dental terrain.

[Aphthous stomatitis].

Aphthous stomatitis remains an illness of unknown aetiology, probably drawing on immunological mechanisms. The diagnosis of an oral aphthous ulcer is clinical, corresponding to a precise primary lesion. The benign form is the most frequent, however the illness sometimes evolves into a severe form which can then be considered as a generalised illness. The management of the patient must distinguish the evolving clinical form of the aphthous ulcer, search for a likely aetiology, and employ a therapeutic approach, which actually remains disappointing with the basic treatments being of solely temporary efficacity.
