Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS), Oral Ulcer, Potash Alum, Antimicrobial

Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS), or canker sores, impact the oral mucosa and arise from factors like trauma, nutritional deficiencies, infections, and systemic conditions. This research explores the healing potential of alum, a traditional Unani medicine, for mouth ulcers. Alum's antimicrobial efficacy was tested via agar well diffusion, showing significant inhibition against microorganisms including Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Proteus vulgaris, Candida albicans, Penicillium digitatum, and Aspergillus niger, with the highest inhibition zones observed at 20% concentration for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26mm) and Candida albicans (30mm). Antibiotic susceptibility tests indicated that Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin were most effective, whereas Ampicillin showed no inhibition. Combining alum with these antibiotics enhanced antibacterial effects, presenting a promising treatment for RAS. The study underscores alum's therapeutic potential in facilitating oral ulcer healing.
