Erythema multiforme is a term applied to an acute dermatitis of unknown etiology and protean manifestations. Infections (particularly herpes simplex and mycoplasma pneumonia), drugs and radiations seem to predispose toward the development of erythema multiforme (EM). The range of possible etiology of oral disease is immense. A dentist while treating such patient should have a differential diagnosis for all oral lesions. Here, we presents a case of recurrent erythema multiforme in which alcohol (Ethanol) seem to be the precipitating factor and have also reviewed the literature.
