Abstract:
This article reports a case of oral herpetic lesions that recurred several times over 1 1/2 years in an edentulous 65-year-old woman. The patient was under treatment for complete dentures at the New Jersey Dental School. A differential diagnosis of mucosal ulcerative lesions is described, along with the laboratory methodology for confirmation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection.
