- Oral conditions like recurrent aphthous stomatitis can greatly impact quality of life, prompting research into new treatment methods.
- This study develops a novel buccal mucoadhesive hydrogel using methacrylate hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and methacrylate lignin, combined with nanostructured lipid carriers to control the release of a compound called alpha-pinene.
- The resulting nanocomposite hydrogel showed improved mechanical strength, reduced energy loss during compression, controlled release of alpha-pinene over 96 hours, and enhanced adhesive properties, indicating potential for effective treatment in oral health applications.
Background: Previous researches conducted in both developed and developing countries have demonstrated a rising trend in the utilization of complementary and alternative medicine. The World Health Organization has underscored the importance of studying the prevalence and determinants of such alternative practices. This study delves into the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Iranian adults towards Persian medicine, a distinct form of complementary and alternative medicine, through a national survey for the first time.
