The healing time, @entity158 intensity, and aphthous zone diameter were recorded for each @entity1 and followed for 6-month. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and Friedman tests (P < 0.05). RESULTS: After 6-month of follow-up, 4 @entity1 in the placebo group and 6 @entity1 in the ZM group suffered from recurrent @entity75 . The average complete healing time and duration of burning sensation were significantly lower in the ZM group (P < 0.05).
