Description
Stomatitis is not life-threatening, but its occasional recurrence significantly reduces our quality of
life. It is unclear to what extent prolonged stomatitis is involved in life span and cancer development.
Among natural products, Kampo is the most popular to treat stomatitis, possibly due to its high
therapeutic effect. Kampo is the mixture of at least two different constitutional plant extracts.
The choice of which plant combination to use depends on the diagnostic power and experience of the
physician. From plant extracts, various bioactive substances have been isolated and manufactured
into gel-entrapped and oral care products. There are still many unknown compounds in nature.
By introducing substituents into a basic framework, compounds with higher activity and lower
side effects can be produced. Finally, by combining selected compounds, a treatment that is more
clinically effective than the existing Kampo prescriptions can be explored. The present Special Issue,
entitled “Biological Efficacy of Natural and Chemically Modified Products against Oral Inflammatory
Lesions”, is a collection of 11 articles written by virologists, bacteriologists, immunologists, molecular
biologists, pharmacologists and clinical doctors. The editorial serves to introduce and summarize the
included topics, as well as to survey the publication incidence rates for each age group, etiology and
treatment of stomatitis. This Special Issue, written by specialists from a wide range of fields, will
interest and enlighted readers. It will be useful not only for researchers, but also for beginners such
as students. I hope that this book can contribute to the treatment of stomatitis.
