Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the present research is to evaluate the efficacy of a gel formulation for a total treatment of 14 days for the treatment of traumatic or aphthous oral ulcers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objective

Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of the treatment using the following scores and clinical parameters:

Pain intensity, measured using the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), consisting of a 10 cm line, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates intense pain.

Size of each ulcer.

Secondary Objectives

Evaluation of the following scores and clinical parameters:

1. Registration of the superficial temperature of the mucous membranes using Infrared Thermography.
2. Ulcer Severity Score (USS).

Study Groups

DNA mouthwash

The compound is characterized by a formulation that ensures effective action on the film-forming component. The presence of DNA fractions increases the viscosity of the solutions and increases the hydration of the mucous membranes with a consequent improvement in trophism for oral ulcers.

The treatment indications are to delay and prevent oral ulcers and the formation of bacterial plaque; prevent irritation of the gums and oral cavity, even in wearers of prostheses and orthodontic implants accompanied by problems with dental support structures; after tooth extraction; before and after any dental surgery. The patients will be instructed to rinse the mouth and ulcers with the mouthwash twice a day after oral hygiene for 14 days
