Filter by:Canker sore, also known as aphthous stomatitis or ulcers and aphthae, is a common ailment, idiopathic in nature, with recurrent painful aphthous ulcers on the non-keratinized oral mucous membranes. Recurrent aphthous ulcer has higher prevalence in young adults and the frequency decreases with increasing age. The etiology of aphthous ulcer remains unclear. Other possible factors include trauma, drug use, deficiency in vitamin B12, folic acid, iron, stress, hormonal changes and metabolic diseases. Topical agents such as local antibiotics, local antiseptics, NSAIDs, and corticosteroids are generally prescribed for symptomatic relief. Several approved drug formulations such as pills, mouthwash, sprays and paste such as vitamin B12, chlorhexidine mouthwash, steroid lozenges and local anesthetics are primarily suggested for the treatment of aphthous ulcer. Despite the available local treatments, still sometimes oral canker sores may represent a painful burden for the patient and the gel OR-AT0222 may represent a topical product easy to use, well tolerated and effective local pain reliever, by facilitating the healing of the lesion(s). The Sponsor, Devintec Sagl, presents OR-AT0222, indicated for the management of canker sores, aphthous stomatitis and small lesions of the mouth. The gel forms a persistent protective film with a "barrier effect" that promotes wound healing and protects the lesions of the oral cavity from contact with external agents, providing pain relief and reducing the risk of further irritation.
Recurrent aphthous ulcer is a painful inflammatory lesion with a high prevalence. Since the etiology is not clear, several strategies have been proposed to reduce pain and severity of its symptoms. Today, curcumin is considered as an herbal medicine with anti-inflammatory properties. Treatment or control of various inflammatory diseases has been proposed, but its low solubility in water has reduced bioavailability, while the use of nanoparticle pharmaceutical techniques has been able to solve these problems. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a new topical curcumin gel with nano-technology and compare it with 2% curcumin gel in patients with recurrent aphthous ulcers. This randomized clinical trial was performed on 48 patients assigned to two groups (nano-curcumin gel) and (curcumin gel). Before treatment, the size of the wound and VAS were measured. After intervention, the two variables were measured again on the fourth and seventh days , then the amount of improvement was quantitatively and qualitatively compared in the two groups and a significant level of less than 0.05 was considered.
