Name |
Details |
| Comparator Agent |
Kenacort® 0.1% oral gel (triamcinolone acetonide) |
Kenacort® oral gel containing triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% w/w will be applied topically over the oral mucosal lesion using a sterile applicator, twice daily after meals for 21 days, or until complete healing is achieved, whichever occurs first. Participants will be advised to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes post-application. |
| Intervention |
Topical Oxygen Therapy (Oxygen-releasing gel applied to oral mucosa) |
Topical Oxygen Therapy – An oxygen-releasing gel formulation applied locally to the affected oral mucosal area. The gel delivers active oxygen directly to the lesion site, enhancing tissue oxygenation, promoting angiogenesis, and accelerating epithelial healing. Participants will apply a thin layer of the gel topically twice daily for 21 days or until complete healing, whichever occurs first. The intervention will be administered under standard oral hygiene conditions and monitored for clinical healing, pain reduction, and adverse effects. |

Primary Outcome
|
| Outcome |
TimePoints |
| The primary outcome is the rate and extent of oral mucosal healing following the intervention, assessed through clinical evaluation of lesion size, tissue appearance, and symptom relief.Assessments will be conducted at baseline (Day 0), weekly during the initial 3 weeks, and then at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to monitor long-term healing, recurrence, and sustained treatment effectiveness. |
Baseline (Day 0): Before starting the intervention Week 1 (Day 7): Early assessment of healing progress Week 2 (Day 14): Mid-point assessment Week 3 (Day 21): Final assessment of complete healing provide more details |

Brief Summary
|
oral mucosal lesions such as ulcers,traumatic injuries,and inflammatory conditions often impair oral function and quality of life.adequate oxygen supply is essential for epithelial regeneration and wound healing.this randomized controlled,open-label clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical oxygen therapy in enhancing the healing of oral mucosal lesions compared wit standard care.participants will receive either topical oxygen gel apply twice daily or conventional treatment.outcomes include clinical healing rate,reduction in pain,and improvement in lesion size over a 21-day period.the study seeks to establish topical oxygen therapy as a safe,non-invasive and effective adjunct in prompting oral mucosal repair. |
