History and physical examination are the mainstay of diagnosing stomatitis. If required, laboratory findings can play an important role in diagnosing and differentiating the particular type of stomatitis.

- Viral culture
- Tzanck smear for active lesions
- Serology
- Studies using immunofluorescent techniques
- PCR
Noma or Gangrenous stomatitis
The diagnosis of Noma or gangrenous stomatitis is made by:[1]
- Culture for organisms
- Biopsy showing deep tissue involvement
Pyostomatitis vegetans
- Immunofluorescence testing[2]
- Biopsy (showing hyperplasia of the stratified squamous epithelium)[3]
- Eosinophils, neutrophils, plasma cells and lymphocytes in the connective tissue[4]
- Spongiotic changes[4]
