Abstract
The study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of topical gels designed for the treatment of mouth ulcers. Topical gels, which are semi-solid solutions composed of synthetic or natural polymers, provide an effective delivery mechanism for localized treatment. Mouth ulcers, caused by trauma, nutritional deficiencies, or infections, are often treated using gels due to their ability to enhance bioavailability and bypass first-pass metabolism. This paper explores various gel formulation techniques and ingredients, such as benzocaine, hydrocortisone, and aloe vera, which contribute to pain relief, inflammation reduction, and accelerated healing. The study also evaluates the ideal properties of gels, including viscosity,spreadability, and drug release profiles, ensuring efficacy and patient comfort. The findings suggest that gels are an optimal method for treating mouth ulcers due to their ease of application, biocompatibility, and controlled drug release capabilities.
