Abstract

A therapeutic clinical trial (phase III) was conducted in the Prosthesis Department
of the Provincial Dental Clinic of Santiago de Cuba aimed at evaluating the efficacy
of the antiinflammatory therapy with Vimang extract on the mucosa affected by
grade I subprosthesis stomatitis in individuals wearing prostheses with acrylic
bases. 100 patients were selected. 80 of them met our requirements and received
our services from October 2005 to March 2006. They were divided at random into 2
groups of 40 patients each: a control group and a study group. The patients were
worried about aesthetics. The first group was indicated mouthwashes with Vimang
infusion extract until they cured. In the second group, spontaneous regression, the
prosthesis was removed at night. They were evaluated at 3, 5 and 7 days to check
their cure and adverse reactions. This time corresponded to the time devoted to the
investigation. Chi square test with 95 % of confidence was used for the statistical
validation of data. Most of the patients cured on the 5th day and astringent
manifestations were observed. As the efficacy of the therapy with Vimang infusion
was proved, its use on the long term was recommended.
