Abstract
Context
Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a highly prevalent oral lesion that is limited in many cases to symptomatic remedies.
Objective
In this work, a buccoadhesive paste was prepared from Fenugreek extract (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) and clinically evaluated on RAS patients.
Design
This study was a double blind randomized clinical trial.
Setting
The study took place at Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Department of Oral Medicine, School of Dentistry.
Participants
SCytotoxicity of fenugreek extract was studied on five cell lines using MTT and Neutral red assay. A buccoadhesive paste was formulated at non-toxic concentration. ixty patients randomly in two groups were treated with fenugreek buccoadhesive paste (FBP) and dexamethasone mouthwash respectively. The patients were followed for the intensity of pain, size of the lesion, erythema and exudate severity on 0, 4, 6, 10 days after the treatment.
Results
From the fourth day of the treatment, the size of the lesion and severity of pain was significantly improved in patients treated with FBP. On the sixth day of the intervention, the erythema level and the size of the ulcer significantly decreased (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
FBP could improve the most symptoms of RAS in comparison to the control due to the good adhesion of the paste to the surface of the ulcer and release the extract and forms a protective barrier against more mechanical irritations or infections.

Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
