Objective: The objective of this present study is to measure, analyze and evaluate the therapeutic benefits of honey in the treatment of recurrent apthous ulcers. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients with mild oral ulcers received treatment for oral ulcers from the Dept. of Oral Medicine and Radiology. The topical application of honey or placebo treatment was conducted in a double-blinded clinical trial and a reduction in the size and length of full ulceration removal was noted.
Results: After 3 days of treatment with honey dressings, ulcers were greatly
reduced in size, with some having full remission after another 3 days. In our
research, effective use of honey as a topical treatment for decreasing healing
time and pain remission was proven in recurrent apthous stomatitis. However,
due to many drawbacks, only a poor inference can be drawn and further studies
are warranted to prove its effectiveness on a boarder scale for therapeutic
advantage.
