ABSTRACT Introduction: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a mucosal abnormality of the oral cavity, with regular border ulcers. The aetiology is unknown, but several predisposing factors can initiate, including stress deficiency and nutrition. This case report was aimed to discuss the determination of predisposing factors of minor aphthous stomatitis related to nutritional deficiencies and emotional stress by using indicators of stress measurement and nutritional intake. Case Report: A 23-years-old woman was complaining mouth ulcers, pain while eating, and recurred every two months. The patient was rarely eating vegetables and fruit, and having a lot of working burden. The ulcer was having a diameter of 2mm clinically, covered with a yellowish-white pseudomembrane, with a regular margin on the right upper labial mucosa. The patient was diagnosed with minor aphthous stomatitis and treated with a 0.1% Triamcinolone acetonide gel. Stress predisposing factors were measured by the Kessler psychological distress scale questionnaire, and the nutritional intake was measured by the 24-hours food recall and a food frequency questionnaires. The 35 scale stress level was categorised as severe stress. Based on the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), the patient was having nutritional deficiencies, especially folic acid and iron. Healing process occurred longer, around 16 days, compared to patients recurrent aphthous stomatitis in general. Conclusion: Predisposing factors for recurrent aphthous stomatitis can be assessed using Kessler’s psychological distress scale, food recall and food frequency questionnaire.
