The average recovery day was negative control for 9.8 days, positive control for 8 days, pandanus leaf extract gel concentration 25% for 8.6 days, concentration 50% for 8 days, and concentration 75% for 6.8 days. Pandan leaf extract gel accelerated ulcer healing and 75% concentration is the most effective.
