CORONA CARPIO, Marcia Hortensia et al. Efficiency of the mouthwash with Vimang tea in subprosthesis stomatitis . Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2006, vol.43, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.

The efficiency of Vimang tea as an antioxidant and antiinflamatory phytodrug in the treatment of subprosthesis stomatitis was evaluated. The drug was administered to 35 patients as mouthwashes 4 times a day. They were divided into 2 groups: the first included 18 dental prosthesis wearers and the second 17 acrylic partial prosthesis wearers. None of them wore the prostheses during the night. To apply the treatment, they were grouped by age and sex. They were systematically controlled at 3 and 7 days to evaluate the state of the disease and to determine the effectiveness of the drug. Satisfactory results were observed in 34 cases, and only a patient had local adverse reactions, which was not statistically significant. Therefore, we consider that Vimang is effective in this treatment.
