Introduction:
the ozone due to its ample range of properties is useful to treat oral diseases as chronic gingivitis.
Objective:
to demonstrate the effectiveness of ozone-therapy in the treatment of chronic gingivitis in adolescents at Pedro Borras Astorga Polyclinic, Pinar del Rio municipality, during the period between January and September 2019.
Methods:
an observational, analytical, longitudinal study of case and control. The sample comprised 50 patients chosen by intentional non-probabilistic method, considering the criteria of inclusion and exclusion. To carry out a better study two groups were included, a study group treated with oil-ozone and a control one treated with propolis at 5 %, with 25 patients each of the group. Theoretical and empirical methods were applied, and the chi-squared test with a significance level of p=0.05.
Results:
the effectiveness of the application of oil-ozone was demonstrated in the sample chosen when presenting a more favorable therapeutic evaluation of the patients, respect to those treated with propolis at 5 %, reaching the greatest quantity of cured patients and with success in the treatment of chronic gingivitis, which was more frequent in male adolescents (13 years old), its moderate type prevailed, a deficient oral hygiene was the risk factor of highest incidence in its onset.
Conclusions:
the ozone-therapy resulted in an effective treatment for chronic gingivitis in the studied adolescents.
