Abstract
Recurrentoral ulcers have been estimated to affect more than 10 million people per year in India.Though it is a much common condition which presents as recurrentsmall, ovoidoral ulcers with circumscribed margins, erythematous halos and yellow floors, still etiology remains a debatable one. Recurrent aphthous ulcers may be a manifestation of a disorder rather than a separate entity (1) . So a better drug with maximal efficacy andminimal side effect is the need of the hour and so we conducted a prospective study on efficacy of Rebamipide in recurrent oral aphthous stomatitis.Rebamipide is already marketed as a gastro protective agent. Our study conducted in a tertiary care centre has approved the efficacy of Rebamipide in recurrent aphthous stomatitis, which can be marketed as a promising drug for the same.
