The evaluation of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) was performed by an oral medicine specialist, who relied on the clinical manifestations of the condition. The experimental group was administered 1x1cm mucosal patches containing alum stone at a concentration of 7%, whereas the control group was given placebo patches without any active medication. Size of aphthous lesions and degree of pain assessed at days 1, 3, and 5. Statistical analysis was performed with repeated measures ANOVA using R software.
The study's results indicated that the utilization of alum stone in mucosal adhesive patches yielded significant reductions in size of aphthous lesions and degree of pain.
