• Background and Design: Aphtous stomatitis is a common condition mostly seen in children and adolescents. Etiology is believed to be multifactorial with the influence of both familial and acquired conditions. Food as an etiologic factor has been studied previously with some contradictory findings although patients usually accuse one or more foods, additives and bevareges as a causative factor. In this study we aimed to determine the prevalence of aphtae and its possible relation with dietary habits in a group of university students. Factors like tooth-brushing, antibiotic consumption and body mass indexes are also investigated. Material and Method: A total of 212 university students were given food frequency questionnaire. They are also questioned for the type, frequency and location of aphtous lesions, presence of family history, their height, weight, tooth brushing habits and frequency ao antibiotic consumption. Results: Almost half of the students had aphtae whereas 20.3% had three or more a year. Students with aphtae had lower body weight while out of 6 vegeterian students 4 had aphtae. On the other hand toothbrushing or antibiotic consumption were not related with aphtae. Walnut, chocolate and dark bread seemed to be protective against aphtae whereas aphtae were more commonly seen in students consuming more tea and spices. Conclusion: This study showed that animal derived products, walnut and dark bread may be protective against aphtae. Whether or not low body weight is a risk factor for aphtae may be evaluated with further studies.

Etiyolojisinin genetik ve cevresel faktorlere bagli multifaktoryel oldugu dusuiulmektedir. Gidanin etiyolojik faktor olarak etkisi daha once calisilmis ve birbiriyle celisen sonuclar elde edilmisse de hastalar genellikle bir veya daha fazla gida, gida katki maddesi veya icecegi etken olarak suclamaktadir. Biz bu calismada bir grup oiiversite ogrencisinde aft prevalansini saptamayi, aftin diyet aliskanliklari, dis fircalama, antibiotik kullanimi sikligi ve vocut kitle indeksi gibi bazi faktorlerle olasi iliskisini arastirmayi amacladik. Gerec ve Yontem: Toplam 212 oiiversite ogrencisine gida tuketim sikligi anketi uygulandi. Bunun yaninda ogrencilerin aftlarin turu, sikliklari, yerleri, aile oykuleri ile, boy, kilo durumlari, dis fircalama aliskanliklari, antibiyotik kullanim sikliklar i sorgulandi. Bulgular: Ogrencilerin hemen hemen yarisinin oral afti oldugu, %20,3'unde aft sikliginin yilda ucten fazla oldugunu tespit edildi. Afti olan grubun vucut agirligi daha dusok bulunurken 6 vejeteryan ogrencinin 4'unde aft ciktigi saptandi. Dis fircalama ve antibiyotik kullanimi ile oral aft arasinda bir iliski saptanamadi. Ceviz, cikolata ve esmer ekmegin aft gelisimine karsi koruyucu etkisi olabilecegi, cay ve baharati ise fazla tuketenlerde aft gorolme sikliginin daha fazla oldugu tespit edildi. Sonuc: Bu calismada hayvansal kaynakli Croilerin, ceviz ve esmer ekmegin oral aft icin koruyucu olabilecegi gorulmustur. Dusuk vucut agirliginin aft icin bir risk faktoru olup olmadigi ileri calismalarla degerlendirilebilir.
