Objectives: to assess the effectiveness of silver nitrate cautery for the treatment of aphthous stomatitis in terms of pain alleviation and recovery time. Material and methods :130 participants with aphthous stomatitis were selected for the study. They split into two groups: group B (control group) and group A (silver nitrite). Following those for pain intensity, recovery time, and side effects. Results: Regarding pain, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups after the procedure on the 2nd to the 6th day.On the 6th day, the ulcer was completely epithelialized in 42 patients (60%) in the treatment group and in 20 patients (32%) in the placebo group. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.01). In group A, the mean healing time was 2.5 days after the treatment. In group B, the mean healing time was 5.7 days. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.01). No side effects were recorded in both groups. Conclusion: The use of silver nitrate cautery appears to be a quick and efficient method of treating aphthous stomatitis pain. Additionally, this therapy speeds up the healing process for ulcers.
