It is the same in amount of the total UK National Health Service expenditure on mental illness, or the total cost of community health services. Participants were included if they met the following criteria: aged 18 to 75 years; pressure ulcers were at stage III or IV according to the european pressure ulcer advisory panel/national pressure ulcer advisory panel (NPUAP) guidelines [ 12]; and at least 1 pressure ulcer. In periodontology, HA has been advocated as monotherapy [ 14] or as an adjunct to nonsurgical and/or surgical periodontal treatment to reduce inflammation and promote wound-healing [ 15].

Of these 135 participants, 51 individuals did not meet the inclusion criteria, and 12 refused to involve the present study. First, all patients kept their daily medication treatment, because it was impossible to stop the medication intervention for patients with pressure ulcers. S. Bhat, “Platelet-rich fibrin as an adjunct to palatal wound healing after harvesting a free gingival graft: a case series,” Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, vol. All patients in both groups received position change every 2 hours, and mattress that helped to protect the vulnerable skin. However, there is currently limited evidence to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MEBO for treating pressure ulcers.

We showed that MEBO is effective and well tolerated for improving wound healing in Chinese patients with pressure ulcers. Without improvement was defined as no change in ulcer size compared with the baseline ulcer tracing.

On day 14 and day 21, the highest mean value was recorded in group I; however, the difference between groups did not reach the level of statistical significance. Both MEBO [ 16] and HA [ 12] have shown promising results in promoting healing and postoperative pain reduction of intraoral wounds that heal by secondary intention. Various clinical trials were carried out aiming to reduce postoperative patients’ morbidity following soft tissue grafts harvesting; most of these trials achieved positive outcomes using different materials such as hyaluronic acid (HA) gel [ 12], ozone therapy [ 22], topical simvastatin gel [ 23], and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) [ 24].The present study was conducted on thirty-nine patients with different mucogingival problems indicated for FGG harvesting. MEBO is pure herbal extract, which is natural in origin; thus it is neither irritant nor toxic to the oral mucosa [ 9].

Results for mean and SD values for intergroup comparison of wound size (mm) measured by UNC 15 probe and transparent paper (mm) on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21 between the three studied groups are presented in Table 3. Thus, in the present study, care was taken to obtain a uniform thickness of the graft to be ranged from 1 to 1. N. Tatakis, “Free gingival grafts: graft shrinkage and donor-site healing in smokers and non-smokers,” Journal of Periodontology, vol. The pain reduction and rapid healing in intervention groups (group I and II) are possibly due to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of their main components as b-sitosterol for MEBO and sodium hyaluronate for HA gel rather than rapid epithelialization.and I thought that nothing can heal it down but Im lucky that one of my friend told me about this product and its really helped me and no mark now but I used it for 5 times a day around 2 to 3 weeks and I put my hand and face under cold water(15 mins) straight away when I burn.

The results demonstrated that MEBO was an effective therapy for improving pressure ulcer healing when compared with the placebo. MEBO was smeared successively onto the wounds at a thickness of 1 mm twice daily with a sterile gloved finger. A free gingival graft is considered to be the most reliable method for increasing the attached gingiva and is one of the most frequently used techniques [ 4].
