Official Title
Effects of a Night Guard on Aphthous Stomatitis
Brief Summary

The investigators will record the patients' oral condition for 60 days before and after intervention with the night guard made of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate copolymer (EVA). The patients' saliva will be analyzed for measurement of inflammatory cytokines or oxidative stress.
