Abstract

Oral ulceration has many aetiological factors. The antianginal drug Nicorandil is becoming increasingly recognised as a causative factor for oral ulceration. The aim of this case report is to increase awareness among clinicians (medical and dental) that nicorandil can induce extensive oral ulceration and thus should be included in the differential diagnosis when presented with patients complaining of long-standing oral ulceration.
