Effectiveness of topical Oleozón® in the stomatitis sub-prosthetic

Introduction: the stomatological prosthesis aims at the adequate replacement of the coronary portions of the teeth or their associated parts, when they are lost or absent, by artificial means able to restore the masticatory, aesthetic and phonetic function. Objective: to determine the effectiveness of topical Oleozón® in the treatment of sub-prosthesis stomatitis in patients of the "Hermanos Martínez Tamayo" University Polyclinic in the municipality of Baracoa, Guantánamo. Method: an evaluation study of a therapeutic intervention was carried out, in the period from June 2015-2016. The study universe consisted of 80 patients with clinical diagnosis of stomatitis subprosthesis. The sample was obtained intentionally, consisting of 40 patients. A control case design was used: group A study was applied topical oleozon and control group B was applied allopathic medicine consisting of nystatin in suspension. Results: in the characterization of the patients with subprosthesis stomatitis according to age groups, grade I predominated in the group of ages 60 and over for both groups. The continuous use of the prosthesis resulted as a harmful habit. The daily application of Oleozón® was effective for the treatment of this disease between four and seven visits to consultation, so that the time needed to disappear clinical signs of the disease was lower than when nystatin cream was applied in the control group. Conclusions: Oleozón® was effective for the treatment of stomatitis sub-prosthesis in the population under study, achieving healing of the lesions in less time compared with nystatin as conventional treatment.
