Traumatic ulcers are one of the most common mucosal diseases. Ulcerated surfaces are commonly formed as a result of injuries involving the soft tissues of the oral cavity. Injuries can occur as a result of events such as accidentally biting oneself while speaking or sleeping. The goal of this study was to see if there were any variations in IL-6 expression after Wistar rats were treated topically with the probiotic Lactobacillus casei Shirota to treat traumatic ulcers. Research methods24 healthy male Wistar rats weighing 175-250 grams and aged 2-3 months were used in this experimental laboratory study. The labial portion of the fornix incisive inferior was polished using a hot round burnisher to produce traumatic ulcers. (n = 6) Six example groups are present. Distilled water was given to the control group over 3 days and 7 days at a rate of 20 liters per kilogram of body weight. Probiotics were applied topically to the afflicted areas for the topical groups for 3 days and 7 days at a rate of 10.9 × 107 cells per kilogram of body weight. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect IL-6 expression. According to the Post Hoc test, there was a significant difference in IL-6 expression between the 3-day topical group and the 3-day control group (p = 0.000). The levels of IL-6 expression were significantly different between the 7-day topical group and the 7-day control group (p = 0.000). Topical probiotic therapy reduces IL-6 expression and accelerates the inflammatory phase in the healing process of traumatic ulcers in Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus).
