Harnessing Polymeric Dissolvable Microneedles: Precision Delivery of Therapeutics for Oral Ulcers.

ABSTRACT: Oral ulcers are a prevalent and recurrent condition that significantly impacts the patient's quality of life by causing pain, discomfort, and difficulty in eating, speaking, and brushing their teeth. These ulcers can be triggered by diverse etiologies, from trauma to autoimmune disorders, which complicate their management, and they often require targeted treatment to promote healing and alleviate pain. Conventional treatments, such as corticosteroids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and topical analgesics, among others, rely on synthetic medications that provide temporary relief and require frequent reapplication, thereby limiting their effectiveness. Thus, the management of oral ulcers necessitates the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. Recent advancements in nanot
