Effectiveness of 10 % propolis tinction in patients with subprosthesis stomatitis

Abstract

A study of therapeutic intervention was carried out in 50 patients with subprosthesis stomatitis who went to the Prosthesis department of "Ramón Guevara Montano" Stomatological Clinic in Baracoa, Guantánamo province, from April, 2015 to June, 2016, aimed at determining the effectiveness of the treatment with 10 % propolis tinction in the affected patients. Two groups were formed: a study group (A) and a control group (B), with 25 members each; the first one was treated with propolis tinction and the second with allopathic medicine (nystatin in suspension). The evaluation was carried out at 4.8 and 12 days. When concluding the therapy it was observed that in 100.0 % of the patients of the group A the lesion was eliminated; therefore, this therapeutic alternative was effective. It was recommended to extend this procedure to other oral disorders.
