---

Recurrent aphthous aphthous stomatitis (RAS) are painful oral ulcertations that recur from days to months or even yours. It represents the most common lesion of the oral mucosa with prelalenceranging from 15% to 30%. Altough the clinical characteristics of RAS are well defined, the precise etiopathogenesis of RAS remains unclear. Since the etiology of RAS remains unknow, there is no definitive treatment. RASresponds quate well to the use of topical or systemic antiinflammatory drugs, particularly cortocosteroids. The objective of thie paper is to discuss the treatment of RAS with secondary infection. This paper reported a case of 22-year old man with multiple oral ulcers that did not head for 7 month. These ulcers were diagnosed on RAS major with secondary infection that caused by normal oral flora (aerobic and anaerobic bacterial) and treated with metronidazole (topical and oral) and ciprofloxacin (oral). These lesions healed in 3 weeks scars. Large ulcer without signs of malignancy that contaminated with normal oral flora will delayed in healing, but with rational treatment with scondary infection has good prognosis.
