BELLON LEYVA, Susana y ECHARRY CANO, Oneida. Clinical assessment of Borax effectiveness in the treatment of aphtous stomatitis. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2006, vol.43, n.2. ISSN 0034-7507.
There is vast homeopathic experience in treating chronic affections described in the classical literature; nevertheless, the use of homeopathic remedies in the treatment of very frequent acute troubles in dental practice such as aphtous stomatitis is also recommended. The present paper was aimed at clinically evaluating the effectiveness of borax in the treatment of this condition. Three hundred and ninety patients aged 15-60 years whose main symptoms was deep pain were treated. The study group comprised 195 patients, who received 006 Borax in 70% alcohol solution for 3 days; the results were compared to those obtained from the control group, which was applied the conventional therapy. It was concluded that a rapid, low cost and easy-to-apply method rendered satisfactory results that confirmed the validity of Borax in the treatment of aphtae.
