Abstract: Traumatic ulser is a lesion in oral mucosa caused by trauma. Traumatic ulcer resulting pain can disturb activities and metabolism. Noni leaves (Morinda citrifolia L) contain flavonoid, saponin, and tannin as anti-inflamatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant to accelerate healing process. This research aimed to determine the effect of Morinda citrifolia L leaves extract on healing percentage of traumatic ulcer in oral mucosa. Ulcer was made by put hot burnisher on lower labial mucosa of twelve Rattus norvegicus for a second. They were divided into three groups. First group was given Morinda citrifolia L leaves extract, control group were given triamcinolone acetonide 0,1% and aquades. The research was performed for 10 days by measuring ulcer diameter and applicating extract. Based on Independent-Sampels T Test showed Morinda citrifolia L leaves extract has no significant effect on healing percentage compared to control groups with p = 0.18 and 0.694 (p and gt; 0.05), recovery day for treat group was eighth day and for each control groups were tenth day. Morinda citrifolia L leaves extract has no significant effect on wound healing percentage of traumatic ulcer compare to positive control and negative control.
