Abstract
The effect of Curcumin gel and Triamcinolone Acetonide gel to cure tiny recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is of interest. Hence, 60 patients in groups divided evenly between 18 and 40 years old are observed for seven days the research showed that both treatments reduced pain, ulcer size and healing time of wounds significantly. But Curcumin gel had a slight edge with fewer side effects. Results of the tests found faster healing and better patient satisfaction in the Curcumin group. Thus, we show the demonstration that Curcumin gel is a safer and more effective alternative to Triamcinolone Acetonide gel for treating minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis.
