Abstract

A phase II, randomized therapeutical clinical assay was carried out in the denture service of “Dr Joaquín Castillo Duany” teaching military hospital to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory 25% aloe cream therapy on the mucosa affected by second degree denture stomatitis in denture wearers having total or partial acrylic supports. The universe of study was made up of 120 patients who went to this Service from September 2005 to October 2006. Two groups were formed: a study group and a control group with 60 cases each. 25% aloe cream was administered to the first group till total remission whereas the second group received the standard treatment. Dentures were removed in both groups. The patients were assessed as of the third day until final curing. It was observed that lesion dissapeared after 7 days of treatment approximately in the study group; however, the cases in the control group required a longer period of time to eliminate the symptoms. This proved that 25% aloe cream treatment was effective for denture stomatitis, and therefore a long-term application of this therapy was recommended.
