Nicorandil induced oral ulceration.
Oral ulceration has many different causes. The association between Nicorandil and oral ulceration is not a new phenomenon. There have been several previous case reports regarding a possible association although none in publications for general dental practice. In this report we have a case series of seven patients and we compared our findings with those in the current literature.
