Aphthous ulcers affect up to 25% of the general population, and 3-month recurrence rates are as high as 50%, it is more common in female, also it increases by increasing age and minor aphthous ulcers are 80% of suffered patient. Due to the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and analgesic effects of Thyme honey, and the lack of evidence in the considered population, the present study aimed to assess the effect of honey on the pain relief in patients with minor RAU as a primary objective and to assess the healing effect of natural thyme honey on minor RAU, and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) as a secondary objectives.
