This true experimental laboratory research with a posttest only control group design used 24 male white rats of the Wistar strain which were divided into group-1 were induced with S.aureus and given mangrove leaf extract, thegroup-2 was induced with S.aureus and given gentamicin, the group-3 was induced with C.albicans and given mangrove leaf extract, and the group-4 was induced with C.albicans and given miconazole. On the third day, wound length in the first group-1 was 0.23±0.2, in the group-2 was 0.00±0.0, in the group-3was 0.21±0.2, and the group-4 was 0.16±0.2. Based on the Friedman test, it showed significant results (p<0.05). It was concluded that mangrove leaf extract accelerated the wound closure process of angular cheilitis induced by S.aureus and C.albicans.]]>
