Use of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) in the Treatment of Traumatic Ulcers Case Report | Chapter 6 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 10

 A specific sort of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is produced in Southern Italy, namely in the countryside of northern Bari in Puglia, from the cultivar "Coratina." It is distinguished by a high level of polyphenols and other biocoumponds, which is the greatest among cultivars.

In the Mediterranean diet, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a must-have ingredient. Furthermore, the oil was used to treat a variety of ailments by the ancient populations of southern Italy, including burns, injuries, hematomas, dermatitis, and so on. Despite the fact that various studies on EVOO have demonstrated its amazing effectiveness in wound healing, no scientific research for the treatment of traumatic ulcers in the oral cavity have been offered.

We recommend the use of EVOO as a therapy in therapeutic treatment as a viable alternative to pharmacological treatment in this clinical instance.
