Abstract: Malocclusion can cause oral problems inter alia traumatic ulcers. The clinical appearance of traumatic ulcers is non-specific depending on the etiology. The ulcer has a smooth surface, yellowish base and red margin, and no induration. We reported a case of traumatic ulcer associated with class I malocclusion of Angle type I. The chief complaint was a sore lesion on the left part of the inner lower lip since two days ago due to being bitten while eating. Based on the anamnesis and clinical examination, the diagnosis of this case was traumatic ulcer with a predisposing factor of class I malocclusion of Angle type I. The management of this case was application of a covering agent, an antiseptic mouthwash, multivitamin consumption, and orthodontic treatments to manage the malocclusion in preventing the recurrence of the traumatic ulcer. In conclusion, the management of a traumatic ulcer case requires attention to the overall condition of the oral cavity by considering all the predisposition factors. Dentists must be able to recognize and to manage such case properly.
