Active clinical trials for "Stomatitis, Aphthous"

The investigators will investigate whether the night guard can suppress the development of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). The investigators will record the patients' oral condition for 60 days before and after intervention with the night guard made of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate copolymer (EVA). The patients' saliva will be analyzed for measurement of inflammatory cytokines or oxidative stress.

Oral mucosal ulcers can determine a real worsening of the quality of life. Conventional therapy usually lasts not less than 2-3 weeks, and carries a high risk of serious side effects; furthermore, ulcers often recur. The use of hyaluronic acid applied as an adhesive gel over the lesions seems to have potential in terms of efficacy and the avoidance of side effects. Of course, hyaluronic acid-based formulations show different effects and tolerability. In this retrospective observational study, the results obtained using a hyaluronic-acid based medical device applied for 14 days to counteract ulcers in adults will be reported.

The purpose of this study is to examine how compounds produced in patients with canker sores affect wound healing.
