A Moderately Large Aphthous Ulcer before treatment with DEBACTEROL®

Note the typical features; the shallow crater, the ulcer rim and the erythematous ring around the ulcer. At this point the ulcer site is extremely painful.

Immediately Post-Treatment with DEBACTEROL®

Note the white membraneous layer of denatured tissue that forms over the the ulcer site after treatment. The DEBACTEROL® is spread across the ulcer bed, over the ulcer rim and extended to cover the erythematous ring. At this point the ulcer site is pain-free and remains pain-free as the ulcer heals.

The white membrane has sloughed from the surface of the ulcer and an opalescent layer now covers the site.

There has been extensive healing with filling of the ulcer bed and marked re-epithelialization. The site of the ulcer is almost grossly undetetctable.
