Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Target ulcer healing rate for patients in day 6	Day 6	Ulcer healing was defined as disappearance of pain and zeroing of ulcer size. At the screening visit the ulcer area and pain severity of patient to clinical examination will be rated at baseline. The patients will be self-assessment pain severity in vas score sheet every day . And the patients will be re-examined in day 6 to assess the ulcer area by periodontal probe.
Subjects self-rated the time it took for irritation pain to disappear	Day 8

Secondary Outcome Measures
