Total 202 participants took part in the study and did show up during the entire follow up period of the study. 54 males and 148 females participated in this clinical trial after their confirmation of not having allergy to any type of medication. These patients were divided into two groups i.e Control group and Experimental group. Control group was not given anything but Experimental group was given Denpro oral gel (Gennec Health Sciences PVT, LTD, Karachi, Pakistan) for treating the ulcer 2-4 times a day for at least 2 weeks. They were instructed to apply the gel topically on the ulcer area with the help of finger or applicator after the meals or before sleeping. Moreover, they were forbidden to use any other medication for the treatment of the oral mouth ulcer to avoid the bias. Mouth ulcer size in both the control group and Experimental group was measured on the first day " Visit=0" which was taken as the baseline, again measured on second day " Visit=1" , third day " Visit=2" , fourth day " Visit=3" , seventh day " Visit=4" and finally, fourteenth day " Visit=5". These multiple visits were carried out for checking the reduction in its size and complete recovery of the oral mucosa without using anything in Control group and after the application of the gel in the Experimental group.
