Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis Management in Children Using Diode Laser 980 Nanometer Versus Hyaluronic Acid Gel (RCT) (RCT)
Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis Management in Children Using Diode Laser 980 Nanometer Versus Hyaluronic Acid Gel: A Randomized Controlled Study
Thirty children with recurrent apthous ulcer will be divided into 3 groups of different treatment modalities to assess their effect on pain, ulcer size, healing and postoperative pain

Descripción detallada
Enrolled children will be randomly allocated to three groups of ten individuals each:
Group one: patients will receive laser therapy with diode laser 980 nm using a 200 μm fiber optic at a distance of 1-3 mm, with no tissue contact.
Group two: patients will use hyaluronic acid (Gengigel gel) 4 times daily. Group three: patients will receive oral hygiene instructions by avoiding spicy food, cold and hot drinks (control group).
Recruitment of subjects Patients with clinically diagnosed RAS of both sexes with age range between 10-14 years old will be selected from the outpatient clinics of the National Research Centre.
Assessment:
A) Assessment of the pain related to the ulcer:
A visual analogue scale (VAS) will be used consisting of a 10-cm horizontal line starting with a pole of no pain to reach the end pole presenting the unbearable pain. Individuals will be requested to mark the point on the horizontal line that best signifies their pain level (Greenberg et al., 2003).
B) Assessment of the ulcer sizes:
The ulcer size will be measured by a calibrated periodontal probe, the two dimensions will be calculated to represent the cross-sectional areas of the lesion (Legeret and Furlano, 2021).p13
C) Assessment healing by the effectiveness indices (EI) of healing:
The effectiveness indices (EI) of the pain improvement and ulcer size will be analyzed with a formula EI = [(V1 - V4 or V6) ÷ V1] × 100 %] where V4 and V6 referrs to the values which will be measured at day 4 visit and day 6 visit, while V1 referred to the baseline value.
The effectiveness indices will be evaluated on a 4-Rank scale: (Liu et al., 2006).
- Rank (1): Heal: EI ≥ 95%.
- Rank (2): Marked improvement: El < 95%, but ≥ 70%.
- Rank (3): Moderate improvement: EI < 70%, but ≥ 30%.
- Rank (4): No improvement: EI < 30%.
D) Assessment of postoperative pain:
A survey questionnaire with ordinal scales will be filled by asking the children at each visit concerning their subjective experience of eating, drinking, and brushing teeth. there will be 4 response alternatives (no, slight, moderate, and severe difficulties)
