The baseline parameters were taken and recorded on the day of the first visit which included ulcer size, pain, and burning sensation. Evaluation of reduction in ulcer size, pain, and burning sensation were made on day 3 and day 7.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The results of the present study revealed that both the study groups showed no significant difference in the size of ulcer at day 1, day 3, and day 7 when compared using independent\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test as\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05 at all study intervals. Therefore, both the agents were found to be equally effective against reducing the size of ulcer, pain, and burning sensation.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The present study findings demonstrate that topical application of the aloe vera gel was able to decrease the ulcer size, intensity of pain, and burning sensation, thereby accelerating the healing without any side effects. Thus, topical aloe vera could be safe and a better alternative to topical steroid for RAS.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_868_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,22]],"date-time":"2023-12-22T08:00:56Z","timestamp":1703232056000},"page":"S570-S573","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Clinical Efficacy of Topical Kenacort and Aloe Vera Gel in Minor Aphthous Stomatitis: A Comparative Study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Mehak","family":"Tariq","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vishwanath V.","family":"Jalli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Government Dental College and Research Institute, VIMS, Cantonment, Ballari, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Dhurubatha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Government Dental College, Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Reeturaj","family":"Medhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and Microbiology, Vyas Dental College and Hospital, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kanchan","family":"Malawat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine Radiology, Pacific Dental College and Research Center, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Inderjit M.","family":"Gowdar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dental Sciences, Prince Sattam Bin Abdul Aziz University, Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sugandha","family":"Arya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine Radiology, R.
