Laser therapy is increasingly showing promising results in dental field including oral ulcers.This trial will assess the usefulness of Diode Laser compared to corticosteroid on oral ulcers of patients diagnosed with Behcet's disease.
The enrolled patients will be divided randomly into two groups.one group will receive Diode Laser (power:100 milli Watt,wavelength:980 mmm, delivery system:biostimulation probe) and other group will receive topical corticosteroids(Kenacort A Orabase: triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 5 gram adhesive paste - Dermaphor) four times daily.
