Abstract

Introduction: Oral ulcerative lesions are extremely prevalent and often take hours to recover due to both microbial contamination and mechanical irritation. Recent research findings have implied that resin-based formulas can stimulate faster healing processes owing to their bioactive nature.


Objective: To analyse the treatment value of resin-based materials in the healing of oral ulcerative lesions.


Material and Methods: The study was a randomised controlled clinical trial conducted at the Department of Oral Medicine and Dental materials Ayub Medical College, Abbottabad in the duration from November, 2024 to April, 2025. Sixty patients were picked and captured in groups, among whom one was treated using a resin-based material, while the other was treated using corticosteroid gel. Ulcer size, pain score, and healing process were assessed every 0,3,7, and 14 days.


Results: The ulcer size and pain score filtered down in the resin group far sooner, and 93.3 per cent of the subjects healed completely by day 14 compared to 63.3 per cent in the control group. There were no reported negative effects.


Conclusion: Resin-based products can be a safe and effective alternative to traditional therapy to speed up the process of healing topical oral ulcers.
