Improved treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis with sodium pentaborate pentahydrate (NaB)

Aim: Chlorhexidine (CHX) and benzydamine hydrochloride (B-HCl) combination treatment (Kloroben™ spray) was compared with sodium pentaborate pentahydrate (NaB, also called boron) treatment with regard to their effects in the recovery of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS). Materials and Methods: We assessed the treatment results by evaluating ulcer radius and VAS results. Seventy-one patients with clinically diagnosed minor RAS were selected for the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group 1 was treated with a 3% solution of NaB and group 2 was treated with Kloroben spray (45 mg benzydamine HCl and 36 mg chlorhexidine gluconate) for 1 week. Results: After the treatments, there were statistically significant decreases in VAS scores in both Group 1 (p
