An innovative treatment using melatonin to significantly reduce the healing time of canker sores.

Technology Overview

This technology introduces a novel use of melatonin, a substance already recognized for its anti-inflammatory and immunostimulatory properties, as an effective treatment for canker sores. Unlike traditional treatments that focus solely on pain relief, this approach aims to significantly shorten the healing duration of oral ulcers, offering relief from pain and accelerating recovery.

Key Advantages

• Utilizes melatonin's anti-inflammatory and immunostimulatory properties for treatment
• Offers a pain relief solution that also promotes healing, unlike traditional treatments that only target pain relief
• Multiple delivery methods being considered, including dissolve tablets, gels, rinses, patches, and gum

Problems Addressed

• Lack of effective treatments for significantly reducing the duration of canker sores
• Current treatments focus on pain relief without addressing healing acceleration
• Need for a comfortable, non-invasive treatment option that offers both pain relief and faster healing

Market Applications

• Over-the-counter oral healthcare products
• Prescription treatments for more severe cases of oral ulcers
• Specialized treatments in dental and oral health practices
• Integrations into existing oral care product lines for enhanced benefits
