The review will be undertaken according to the JBI methodology for reviews of etiology and risk. A comprehensive search will be conducted in MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO, Scopus, Dentistry and Oral Sciences Source (EBSCOhost), Web of Science Core Collection, Embase (Ovid), and Google Scholar. The study selection process will involve 2 reviewers independently evaluating citations for eligibility. Assessment of methodological quality using JBI risk of bias tools, and extracting data from studies using a customized data extraction tool will be done by 2 reviewers independently. Quantitative data synthesis will involve summary measures, including odds ratio and relative risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Review registration:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PROSPERO CRD42024544566<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.11124\/jbies-24-00240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,20]],"date-time":"2025-05-20T08:57:17Z","timestamp":1747731437000},"page":"1616-1623","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association between tobacco use and recurrent aphthous stomatitis: a systematic review protocol"],"prefix":"10.11124","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5587-3453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Venkitachalam","family":"Ramanarayanan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, Amrita School of Dentistry, Kochi, Kerala, India"},{"name":"Amrita Centre for Evidence Based Oral Health: A JBI Centre of Excellence, Ernakulam, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4815-5223","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Parvathy","family":"Balachandran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, Amrita School of Dentistry, Kochi, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kalyani","family":"Biju","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, Amrita School of Dentistry, Kochi, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jyothssna","family":"Senthilkumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, Amrita School of Dentistry, Kochi, Kerala, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"R1-20250814","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"577","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0714.2012.01134.x","article-title":"Recurrent aphthous stomatitis: a review","volume":"41","author":"Chavan","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Oral Pathol Med"},{"issue":"3","key":"R2-20250814","first-page":"239","article-title":"Association between recurrent aphthous ulcers and tobacco habits","volume":"93","author":"Ax\u00e9ll","year":"1985","journal-title":"Scand J Dent Res"},{"issue":"3","key":"R3-20250814","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"252","DOI":"10.4103\/0973-029X.86669","article-title":"Recurrent aphthous stomatitis","volume":"15","author":"Preeti","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Pathol"},{"issue":"4","key":"R4-20250814","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.3109\/09546631003675450","article-title":"Does recurrent aphthous stomatitis affect quality of life?
